Am I insane or did the casualty list shrink?!
I checked this a.m., as every day, and I would swear the toll was 1884. I changed the number in my car window.

It now says 1882.

Am I missing something? Are we counting backward now?
If anyone understands or remembers 1882 as the count rather than the 1884 I believe it was I sure would appreciate it.
Thanks so much.

10. I'm hoping not, there is enough
horror without covering it up.
I am just so suspicious anymore.:crazy:

3. They probably double counted
its happened before. Two reports that initially sound different turn out to be the same KIA.

4. checked my # from this am, was 1884
I looked at the months stats and I can't remember from this morning if there were more in the last couple days or not. Maybe they miscounted and corrected it? Check in a couple days when Sept 1 casualties come in. I had 1884 for sure this am. odd.

8. Maybe it was a corrected double count but
the numbers over the last couple weeks haven't been seeming to match the reports I've seen. I read many enews letters each day and keep a count in my head. Wish I had been writing it down. Damn.
I'm going to start writing it all down.
Thanks for the confirmation of my memory/sanity!

9. Yesterday, right? I couldn't
change mine due to rain.

Is it on your car window? It gets folks talking, mostly all rejecting *.

I'd like to get many people to put the numbers on the back window of their vehicles. It needs to be rubbed in their faces every day!

I have 1884 DEAD FOR LIES on mine. Small town and I quit caring what anyone may think here a long time ago.:evilgrin:
