I won't dwell on the details of Las Vegas except to say that it's time for a change. Each and every time a horrific incident like this happens everybody gets all up in arms about the situation yet the Congress fails to take any sort of action to prevent what is happening. This man bought these guns legally, modified them for maximum kill power and played a real live game of shoot to kill from a sniper's position in a luxury hotel. If these concert goers, many of whom were children, had guns it wouldn't have mattered. They were an easy target from his location and he was obviously deranged. Mental health is a sneaky one when it comes to guns. These kinds of folks simmer under the radar, quietly building arsenals with no proof that they are mentally capable of owning and using them responsibily. The gun lobby is so powerful that we are helpless as citizens to change anything. Only the government can do that. Yet the word from the White House is that it's "too soon" to have that conversation. Bullshit.
Reaves and Lauren are doing well and receiving visitors daily. I won't make it back there until the weekend but have a day off tomorrow to try and get this place in shape for a visit. I'm shopping for a vacuum as we speak...Mama's old Electrolux just doesn't cut it anymore.
