Rain And Guns

Rainy, rain, rain again, but not while I walked, so was able to get both in.  Did Kimball, then after breakfast, finally and at long last got my tax stuff together. Must call Michelle to see when we can meet.
I was going to do a load of wash, but I really don't have that much and think I'll do it today. Went to WinCo, Trader Joe's, and Ralph's for various fruits and veggies. Prepared some, had lunch,then took off for town. Walked to the library, as ever, and who was there but my friend, Diane. She had been at a school, the students of which were demonstrating about the gun thing. Lots of other schools across the country did the same, the "movement" now orchestrated by the media.
To what purpose all this is for, I don't know. Will our whore politicians reject all the dough they get from the gun lobby?  Fat chance. However, there will be lots and lots of talk and high indignation, and yells and tears and so on, just as there was after Sandy Hook. Of course, that resulted in the fall of the gun lobby, the  outlawing of guns, and peace settling over the land, didn't  it?  Oh, it didn't?
Americans in the age of instant solutions seem to to have embraced the mind set that if you make some kind of dramatic gesture, that's the same as spending years in trying to accomplish something substantial.
