Tuesday 2nd April

It has been a lovely warm day, it was 83 as I drove through town.  I can't believe that only last week the car windscreen was iced up.  And tomorrow looks even warmer ..

 

 



   I was going to the cinema this evening, downtown, to see 'Lone Survivor' but an hour before it was time to leave there was the shooting at Fort Hood.  Well, why go to the cinema when there's all this drama unfolding before you on television.  TV channels suspended their normal programmes to cover it.

It is emerging that the gunman had mental health issues, and was about to be evaluated for PTSD,   There is something seriously wrong with the mental health care here, I think serious issues go undetected for too long, and when they surface they are catastrophic.

And it is not just on television I see drama unfolding before me.  I had to go out for something this afternoon and there were two police cars parked diagonally across the middle of one of the main roads, and there seemed to be a bandit somewhere in the mix.   I would be all for pulling in and gawking, but I think I might be moved along.   And this is a fairly common sight, I wonder sometimes if our bad guys just get away with their nefarious activities. 

I might get to the movies tomorrow.
