It's done. I've moved into the new flat, gotten familiar with the quirks and problems, and broken my toe. Big weekend. Now I'm gimping for the 7 minute walk to the station but have reduced my work commute by 35 minutes, which is thrilling.

I can't quite believe that the US has executed someone. Granted, what McVeigh did was inexcusable and devastating to the families and the country. But I can't shake the sickening thought of a federal official injecting poison into McVeigh's leg then waiting for him to die. So much for democracy.
