The Tylenol is helping the back pain and I have been a little more active today, I went to the hospital this morning for my chaplaincy round. Bill had been there since he was called in at 2am, so he went home to catch up on some sleep and I had lunch by myself, and was just watching television this evening.
You must have heard the dreadful news of the mass shooting at a school in Oregon, and everyone from the President down immediately starts talking about guns and gun laws. They don't get it. They just don't get it. It is not guns which kill, it is people. And unless - and until - they establish some mental health services in this country I can't see it stopping any time soon. It certainly seems to me - the foreign bystander - that the mental health services here leave a great deal to be desired.
There have been 152 school shootings since 1990. A figure I found very startling.
The intense summer temperatures seem to have dropped and it is now more comfortable, in the 70s.
