Half right

Surprise, surprise! Another American gun massacre. I know, only 8 killed, so this one is only a minor blip, hardly even worth noticing for those that value gun rights above the rights of other citizens to live in a society that is not riddled with high powered weaponry available to each and every nutcase with a grudge against someone or something.

Robert Hawkins is the latest nutjob who’s taken out his woes with the world via his gun.

According to his landlady, with whom he left a suicide note:

“He said he was a piece of shit all his life and now he’ll be famous.”

Only half right there, Robert. Yes you are/were a piece of shit, but you won’t be famous.

A few days off

The wife and I have been in Sydney for a few days, catching up with friends and doing a bit of the tourist thing. The good thing was that a fair chunk of it was free, woo hoo, part of the booty from my wife’s achievement earlier in the year being a few nights free stay at a nice hotel in Darling Harbour.

Beats working!

The kids also appreciated being abandoned at home for a few days. They want us to go away more!
