Jinxed

Slammed back into winter today, but at least we got our workouts in, mine inside at the climbing gym. Several of my climbing buddies are such positive women, which is a good influence for me these days.
Terrible news from Virginia, but it's still good old Amurkan-spawned mayhem. The perpetrator pretty much grew up here in the USA, despite having moved from South Korea at age eight. Access to weapons is part of the mix, and Virginia is the loosest of all the states in that regard. If he hadn't had the guns, he couldn't have done this massacre. The guns rights people are looking for any excuse, however, to draw attention away from this basic truth. Kid wasn't white, they're spewing. Must have been a terrorist. Nope, the young man grew up in Virginia, and absorbed many bad elements from the culture, arms possession being about the worst. It sounds as if he was dangerously alienated. That seems to be happening more these days, and it is a sign of a fraying society. My heart goes out to his family as well.
