Tuesday

What is it about Tuesdays? They aren't the beginning, end or middle of the week. They are placeholders, I guess. How do you feel about Tuesdays?

Seems that someone in Mumbai has been twittering about the bombings and aftermath and has created a virtual community of people who are appalled at what happened yet are offering help of all kinds. Online communities are taking the place of family and neighbors. Why is it easier to offer help/aid to someone across the ocean than someone in the next town?

Creating virtual bonds is wonderful, but does that mean we're are becoming inured to face to face contact? Insensitive?
