As I said the other day, it’s hard to keep the days straight. The computer and paper says today is Friday but if it wasn’t in writing, we wouldn’t be sure. Yesterday I had some running around to do and have some more today.
We’re hoping Lori can get out of work a few hours early today so we can get a jump on the weekend traffic. Last week we left at 4pm which was just about perfect as it put us up in the mountains by about 6 after stopping at the grocery store.
So yesterday we had a terrorist attack in a gun free zone. Can anyone explain why the armed forces are not armed? Apparently some guy from Yemen who was being watched, went and shot up a couple of recruiting centers back east. Not good. Of course many other countries deal with this kind of tragedy weekly or daily. When something like this happens here, it’s non stop 24 hour coverage on every single channel. The thing that amazes me is that anyone is surprised by this. It’s just a matter of time before it becomes more and more frequent. If anything, I’m surprised it hasn’t happened more, like way more. These people don’t care about life, are delusional and 100% committed to destroying us. We were talking as a family how and why people join up and many of them are people or kids that our society casts out or in some cases has bullied (when they were kids) and then some radical faction comes along and takes them in and gives them a sense of belonging. Social media doesn’t help either as people can reach across borders and indoctrinate kids right in their own bedroom. I often say electronics are like a drug. Kids are sucked in and many believe anything they read. Rudy Guiliani says get ready as this is the new normal. Of course just wait as I’m sure the govt will somehow use this to suppress more and more of our rights. I’ll stop now but as they say, keep your powder dry.
Guess I’ll run, hope all’s well, take care and God Bless.
