This morning I was thinking back to when I graduated. That was a long time ago, about 46 years. Hard to believe how far we’ve come as a society in that short amount of time. The advances made in the 45 or 50 years before I graduated were remarkable. If you compare those years to the time period between 1974 and now, it’s hard to say we’ve advanced as a people. It seems we’ve actually digressed as people in how we live together and how we treat each other. Thankfully we now live in the mountains.
No one I know of anywhere agrees or is happy about the cop in Minnesota murdering George Floyd. But how does destroying our cities buildings and businesses relate to this in any way? If you look at the majority of the protestors many of them are using this poor mans death to flat out steal things. They don’t care about this guy, they just want to loot and destroy things. The policeman who allegedly committed the horrible act has been charged with murder. Before anyone goes off, I say allegedly as in our Country you’re supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, right? What a shit show. If you live in the city, I’d stay away from downtown for a few days, especially at night.
Now to our life. Jagger graduates today around noon! Quite the accomplishment. Lori mailed our graduation announcements so hopefully everyone has one. He went out to dinner last with Madi’s family while Lori, Ty and I went to Marty and Melanie’s. Ty and Max hung out while we visited and grilled truffle hamburgers. They were good.
They say rain today but we’re hoping it holds off until after noon when we’ll be done. It looks nice outside now.
And now to the virus. Today I’ll lay off my opinions on the whole thing. No matter how many die, one death is too many. I’m just so sick and disappointed in the news and society pushing the non-stop end of the World scenarios as they’re doing. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a news channel that just showed good things? Last night all our local news channels were showing the so called riots in Denver with non-stop live coverage and best I could see there were about 20-30 people, mostly homeless that live there at the Capitol raising hell. Yet the news would have you believe there were thousands of people from all walks of life protesting. That too is just not true. What we had was a bunch of thugs and looters taking advantage of a mans death to steal everything from sunglasses to phones to suitcases. How does looting the Sunglass Hut in any way relate to the injustice in Minnesota? Think about it, it doesn’t.
That’s it, be well, be safe and God Bless.
