It has been a while since I wrote last and I have had all sorts of inane things to say, like how my husband dragged me off to yet another hike up a mountain and this time we were in the clouds and climbing past glaciers and I froze my ass off (alas not literally) and we saw a small herd of Fallow Deer (looked that up) who are MUCH better scurrying over the snow and ice than I am.  Or how I have been filling my non working time since Grace returned to the States with museum visits ((fantastic Asian Art) and trying new cuisines (Persian - yum).  But then Grace messaged me about Orlando.

What the Hell?  He was on the FBI watch list and yet was allowed to buy an automatic weapon???  He was described as "unstable and violent" but was given a license to carry a gun.  There is something so wrong with our country.  How many people need to die before we get guns off the market?  Yes this guy was nuts, a terrorist, whatever, but if he hadn't been able to buy a frickin' AR15 or any other automatic weapon, like soooo many others who have committed mass murder in the US, it would have been just that much less deadly.  There will always be crazies.  Do we have to make things so easy for them to do so much harm?  Sad sad day.  xxoo me
