A tragic story

A very sad story on Compuserve this evening. Whether you are an OUTLANDER fan who's traveled to Scotland, or only dreamed about it, this story will break your heart.

After hearing this, I'm in no mood at all for Palin jokes, or Weinergate, or any of the other nonsense that passes for "news" these days. Even thinking about Jamie and Claire makes me feel slightly sick at the moment. My thoughts and prayers go out to Babs and her family! I don't know her personally, but she's an OUTLANDER fan who's just suffered a horrible tragedy. Just heartbreaking.

Please keep her and her family in your prayers.
