One
of my unstated goals for this blog was for it to be different from most of
whatever else you expose yourself to online.
I wanted it to be lighthearted, even when I’m covering serious
subjects. I wanted it to be someplace
you can get away from all the crap that goes on in the world… even for just a
few minutes.
I’ve
purposely not weighed in on world events because of this. I figure the last thing you want is one more
idiot, standing on a soap box, blabbering on about politics, religion, the NFL,
and e-log mandates (among other things) so I opted not to do that.
I
was in Winslow, AZ on an 8-hour break when Stephen Paddock changed the world
forever by opening fire on the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas at 10:05
local time Sunday night.
I
don’t watch or listen to much news. I
turned the news off years ago because I was becoming addicted to it. I decided that if something truly important
happened I would hear about it, but I couldn’t function with a steady stream of
negativity so I just shut it off.
After
seeing more than a dozen posts on Facebook… ”Pray for Vegas,” I finally asked
someone what was going on in Vegas.
I
have nothing to add to the conversation that you haven’t
already heard. I’m sitting here thinking
the same thing I thought after Jonesboro, Columbine, 9/11, Ft. Hood, Orlando,
San Bernardino, etc, etc.
I
just don’t understand. I pray you have
peace today. I pray you see something
that gives you hope for humanity today.
I pray you find and take advantage of an opportunity to make the world a
better place today.
