Well, I was going to get home and at some point write about how New Year's went, and what's up with my brother and things... but, uh ... saw an IM from Kass, and holy shit. Guess it feels like the details of my life are completely unimportant now. :\
And to answer your question, Kass, yeah, I actually do know someone. The brother of a certain young friend of mine. And both vehicles were gone when I drove past their house; I never see that. But I guess it's to be expected. I just hope they're alright.
And hope you had a nice flight, too. ^_^
