MUMBLES

Jeez.

I am sorry about the deaths and all but front and central for me is another fact.

The terrorists hit the commuter railways in Mumbai.

Well, OK. I haven't heard of all the cities in India.

Have you?

But I did wonder why, if they had such a sophisticated rail system and all, I had never gotten informed about the place.

Then, today in Slate, this:

Mumbai—What about Bombay?

And so I find out that I did know where this was. I just didn't know that its name had changed.

Nine years ago!

Fuck. Where was I? No one asked me. Did I pass on this one?

I am going to have to get a tighter rein here.
