Guesses for new set:
50. London
51. Waco - I was a team leader in a federal law enforcement agency in Houston (several hundred miles south of Waco) on that day, and my team had been engrossed in solving a bomb mailed to a prominent pastor of a mega-church, so we had been working with several ATF agents. As the raid was going down and turning into a disaster, word spread through the hallways in our office, and we all ran to our conference room to watch on television. Several ATF agents were killed, including one who had been working with us on the bomb case. Some months before I had talked to an ATF agent as we both waited outside a federal courtroom (federal agents spend a lot of time waiting outside courtrooms), and we had exchanged business cards. Months or a year later, when the names of the ATF agents who died were publicly revealed, I checked my purse for that card. and he became the second ATF agent I knew who had died at Waco.
52. Yes, although this may be a 50-50 question -"they" may say no, but we all do, and it is just fine.
53. roof - not sure how I know this, except that they are somewhat common in the Pacific Northwest
54. 2
55. maybe 6
56. dunno, let's go with Ontario
