Four dead so far. Bombs and guns. Kenya has strict gun laws.

Yikes! Had some friends from the First United Methodist Church doing work in Kenya last summer who stayed there! R.I.P. to the victims.

Moral to this story: Don't Leave Texas!
Government, like fire is a dangerous servant and a fearful master
If you ain't paranoid you ain't paying attention
Don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war let it begin here- John Parker
