Timelies all!
Quiet Sunday here. Soon we will go out for lunch and groceries.

It's also a quiet Sunday here after a busy couple of days. TCG is in charge of parenting at the moment. So, I'm hiding in bed with a book.

Cops shot and killed in Baton Rouge. Jesus.
Seven wounded, three killed. Shooter at large.
Assault rifle. I betcha it's that easy to get AR-15.

I haven't heard the canard about good guys with guns stopping bad guys with guns in a while. I guess it's hard to say that when police are getting shot.

A relative on FB is angry at the ACLU for escalating the situation in Baton Rouge. I am letting that one go for the sake of family harmony.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I wonder if there might be more push behind getting assault rifles banned if police keep getting shot with them. Not that I want police or anyone to get shot.

Well, fuck. Just found out a good friend and 4 others in her department were laid off on Thursday. Kinda shocking, but it's budgetary and they're on a completely different funding source I had no view into. Ahrg. And their kids are in private school and the eldest is going into her senior year.
This year is unsettling.

Ugh, just heard about the Baton Rouge shootings. I am so done with shootings this year! So upsetting. I DO NOT want civil war.

??? I don't even get it, it's like someone doesn't understand what the ACLU does.
Jesse, my advice is to split the difference and have your stylist color your hair once or twice a year, and then you can take care of the roots yourself the rest of the year. That's what I do because I can't afford to have my hair done professionally every time. But coloring the roots is pretty easy and all it costs is the dye.

I am at SFO sending off my Mom, since she was feeling uncertain about navigating a big airport on her own. We did a bunch of sightseeing, but we also spent a lot of time on my couch watching Masterpiece Mystery and Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries and Bletchley Circle. It was a good visit.
