Investigators believe a package bomb that killed a teenager and wounded a woman in Austin on Monday is linked to a similar bombing that killed a man elsewhere in the city this month, and they're considering whether race was a factor because all of the victims were black.

One of our SILs wanted a copy of our church’s cookbook. So my put one in a bubble envelop.
We UPSed it at an Office Depot UPS station. We had to complete a form re what was in the package. Another SIL wanted a copy, so my wife put it in an unsealed envelope and took it to another UPS station. She still had to fill in some documentation, and they sealed the envelope.
The 17 yr oldwas quite gifted musically.

........had just been accepted in a college of music......his name was
Drayton Mason...his grandmother was there when he took his last breath....his mom is seriously injured.....
