"Toy Store vs Real World"
We have been monitoring events in our area--we are based in Johnson City, NY, two miles to the west of Binghamton, NY--and we note, with a lot of concern, the stories about a shooting incident at the American Civic Association, which has made worldwide news. Had we been there, we'd have been working on that story, which is never a good story to cover, or see unfold. Our thoughts and prayers (especially on this Palm Sunday weekend) are with all who are affected by this outrage. It reminds me that most of the time, what I cover is from the "Toy Store" of life. What happened in Binghamton this morning was as "real world" as one gets.
We're going to shoot some pictures from the paddock and ask Father Phil DeRea (IndyCar Catholic Chaplain) to remember the Binghamton victims at Holy Mass here at the track this weekend.
