My daughter goes to Altoona. It's really sad that this is what our kids have to deal with—that this is their normal. This sort of stuff never happened when I was in school back in the Dark Ages before Columbine and the rest. I'm just glad it was actually a hoax... I can't imagine what it would be like if it were a real situation.

It is! I love that we get more sun.

I am not surprised! That lack of sun is what made me want to come back to PA.

I moved to Altoona from Tacoma, Washington. Come talk to me about grey skies and drizzle. This is nothing! 🙂

I think I’m a few years older than you. I had just turned 23 when Columbine happened and was in my senior year of college. I’ve worked at universities since 2001, and had threats after Virginia Tech, as well as for random reasons. My kids have had so many lockdowns… It never gets easier, and it’s way too much!
