Not the brightest morning. It behooves me to think of how depressing this blog has become over the past year or so. No, I cannot entirely blame Trump. He sure didn’t help though.
I don’t have a lot to say, so I will rattle off…
Some Thoughts:
- I’d hoped my general ennui would pass following the blog and a decent night of rest. No such luck. If anything it clings to me like sweat.
- Dad fail this morning. I didn’t finish the laundry last night and now there are no pants. The kids will miss their morning practice, but with any fortune they will get to the bus stop okay.
- Jarvis Landry ought to be a Giant. That would make the team incredibly attractive to future Qbs. We are talking about 4 legitimate receiving threats that require top level coverage. Add a banger of an RB and a decent line… I see big things happening for the G-men offense for years to come.
- Desert Nights, Rising Stars Writing Conference is in Phoenix this weekend. Should be pretty sweet.
- A sheriff’s deputy waited outside the school for backup during the Parkland shooting. Why? Because he was scared. He wanted backup. He wanted someone else in there with him, because he didn’t have a clear understanding of the situation. This is a trained police officer who is paid to do exactly this job. He didn’t go in, but a lot of Americans think that an armed school teacher is going to stop a gunman with an assault rifle. Get real, people.
- The cop was fired. How long before the blame shifts to him? That is one of the many reasons I oppose arming teachers. It takes the blame off the guns (again) and points the finger at teachers. Now we have to be trained gunman as well? Child, please.
- Lets not forget that arming a teacher in an environment like that could eventually lead to a teacher overreacting to a threat from a kid. Just saying… We train cops not to be bad apples and many still are that or just plain scared. Underpaid and overworked teachers who have basically no recourse to deal with undisciplined children might snap too. Or at the very least threaten. Then what? Robot sentries?
- Yeah, I’m not on top of my game…
