So yesterday there's a shooting in Texas, and apparently today there was a shooting in Orlando.

I think from now on, I'm going to stay home the day after I hear about a shooting on the news or radio. It seems like that first shooting always triggers someone else to snap elsewhere in the U.S. :scratchhead:
Why yes, yes I am.

I haven't heard anything about the Orlando shooting, but being a city with millions of people violent assaults are probably common aren't they?
My water bottles froze as I rode, as did my beard. Beards sure keep you warm,
but can be socially embarrassing when you start to defrost mid conversation.

Yeah, they typically don't lock down the city for a manhunt with a single suspect that's already shot a half-dozen people like they did today though.

Who knows what your neighbor is thinking?

Just kidding, don't want people to get paranoid. I think that a little town like mine, with low low low crime level (Worst crime I know of, is some kids egging some person's car).

I find it ridiculous that maniacs find some relief in killing others.

Around here everybody is packing heat so if anyone did go crazy and start shooting at everybody, everybody would shoot back.

A few months ago a couple guys tried robbing a convenience store, and when they were trying to make their getaway on foot some people from the bar next door tackled them and held them until the sheriff deputies arrived. We take matters into our own hands!
