FIGMO's Follies

I've tried to make it a point *not* to grieve too much about the deaths of people I don't know, because there are so many of them. But in this case, that's considerably harder than usual. You see, I feel the pain of so many of her and my mutual friends -- and she was a filker, which means there was a solid chance that at some point we would have sat in the same circle and traded songs, which isn't even remotely trivial to me. Hugs and warmth to all concerned. (I don't know the geography lesson implicit in the details of how and when the accident happened, and it's just as well.)
