Anyone know if Highway 30 is closed or will be closed in those areas? I'm heading from Boone back to Cedar Rapids here in an hour or so and I take Highway 30 straight over.

I read that but the fact that he lost his car really made me wonder...Quote:

It's also interesting that the number of nongun "intimate" murders is about equal to the number committed using a gun.
Thanks for the data; I would also like to see more recent #'s, say for the last three years.Quote:

Wow, I worked at that Caseys my last year of college. Sucks...
I'd be a bit careful about that - they had a lot of data mixed in there.Quote:

I think that goes to show that it is those that you "love" that can do the most to cause you to act irrationally.
We can't possibly know if the intimate murders done by a gun would have taken place by some other means - how would you get data for that?Quote:

Wow, I go to that Caseys at least once a day during the work week. Going to be tough going back, no matter who it is. All super nice people that work there. It really hits home when you actually know the person (I don't know which employee, but they were all great to talk to).
My thoughts are certainly with her family. Just stupid. Why these people just don't kill themselves is beyond me. I guess that's what makes them crazy.
I got detoured around that and was wondering what happened.Quote:
