Good morning GH. A quick view out the Weather Window shows that the skies are clear and the chance of precipitation is essentially 0%. Current temperature on the desktop is 75 degrees. I suspect that it is going to be another warm one here in GH. Sugar the Weather Dog is still sleeping, showing no additional thunderstorms on the horizon. Yesterday was fun, playing a bit of Irish music, walking to the bakery and the other things that we do on Saturday. Most of the day was spent with Mary reading, and me watching the Cubs perform in their inimitable style. There was a bright lining in baseball though. The Tigers thumped the White Sox and dropped them out of first place. So, I guess that every day can be bright if you know how to look at it. A quick observation on the need to make money being so strong, that the ammo makers and tear gas purveyors and gun sellers were more than willing to sell the nut in CO everything he needed to ruin so many lives. It is too late to take all the guns out of circulation, and I don't think we need to, but there must be a way to title the guns, stop the sale of thousands of rounds of ammunition, and stop the sale of parts to make some of them fully automatic, making anyone a killing machine. Even the police officers were overwhelmed by the carnage. I am all for hunting, but no one, and I do mean no one, needs an automatic rifle for hunting. I bet if you ask the average hunter, he would agree. Rifles with automatic capability and the capacity to load dozens of rounds, are simply not needed for the average person to do anything but kill people. We have a registry that the insurance companies use to be sure that you haven't overbought your medications. However, you can buy as much ammunition on line as you desire, not to mention the number of guns you can buy in a week or a month or a year and that all adds up to crazy. Just one man't opinion, but it is time we make it harder to buy a gun and ammunition than it is to buy drugs. Oh well, I didn't mean to go so far off the reservation, bu that's how I feel. Now, it is...Tea time.
