Muslin letters

I think you meant Muslim letters, and there still is no such thing. :p

Finally, I've infected Tim.  My work here is done.

Given his close approximation I would have expected this much sooner. Thankfully this means I should be safe for quite awhile.

We can remedy that.

It is an absolute tragedy what happened in Manchester, but unfortunately this can happen to any large crowd at any point in time these days. The bomb was set off in a public area, outside of the actual concert venue. I don't think this validates Kansas cancelling their tour to be honest, if anything, it are the EU citizens that are out in the streets that are in danger, not the people performing. I don't think there is an realistic way to garantuee safety to large crowds in public areas. These days (post Paris terror attacks) the actual concert venues tend to be much thighter in security, especially during larger events (not always visible. For example, they use dogs to track potential bombs). And there is always an option to hire more security, though I imagine that can harm profits quite a bit.

What happened in Manchester was terrible and unfortunate, but I highly doubt half-to-2/3 full venues with old geezers in the audience would've been as appealing a target for the terrorists as an arena filled with kids.
