For any Loyal Readers who may be interested, Julie Jorgenson’s obituary is now online.

Much of my initial shock has subsided now, but I’m still sad about a friendship I never quite made, and horrified by the manner of her death, and I suspect those things are going to bother me for a long time. I’m also deeply angry about the senseless, unfair, random stupidity of what happened. I haven’t seen any follow-up stories in the news since the initial report on the accident, so I still don’t know if the guy who hit her was drunk or otherwise impaired, or if he’s just a f**king idiot. Not that it matters much. The end result is the same.
