A new gun year

Today is the 9th day of February with guns dominating the news.

That chaos at a Mushroom farm in Half Moon Bay might be the strangest.

Did the maniac eat the wrong species?   After watching the Fungi doc I'm pretty sure something took place there that the owner of the farm doesn't want to discuss.

I would like to interject at this point and make one flat out truthful statement.

THERE ARE TOO MANY WEAPONS ON THE PLANET....and way too many guns in America.

Second amendment advocates all know that the original constitutional writers had NO CLUE what would happen and IF they did then the laws would be different today.

AND EACH AND EVERY GUN OWNER KNOWS THAT IS A TRUE STATEMENT.

Fighting for the independence of our Country in 1776 it was very important that everyone be ready.

IF THAT'S WHERE WE ARE IN 2023 

THEN SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG.......

......and we know something is wrong and there seems to be no solution because the people that own guns and use guns for whatever reason just simply don't see the problem.

I hate the argument that guns don't kill people....people kill people.

GUNS MAKE IT MUCH EASIER TO KILL PEOPLE  and that's a fact Jack.....

I've got a few ideas to take your mind off of "reality."

1)The Smithsonian magazine says one should read more fiction.  It's just one of ten things they say help the brain.  Get the January edition and check it out.  

2)Recently I've been watching Justified on Hulu.  Loved the show when it was on FX and had to sit through commercials.  Without commercials it's even better.

3) Listen to Bonnie Raitt's Grammy winning song of the year more than once.

Just like that

4) Stop watching news shows that run longer than 30 minutes.  If you need to delve deeper than do it without opinions.  Research is the answer if you are really interested in a subject.

5)If you don't have a Major League Baseball TEAM that you follow....GET ONE! It will make your summer much more interesting.

6)Say a little prayer that I have another art show in the very near future.  The very near future can range from 3 months to 2 years.

7)Call someone you haven't talked to recently and talk for at least one half hour.

8) Listen to serious rock and roll from the 50's.  Mainly Buddy Holly.

9)Watch the movie TAR and explain how Cate does what she does

10)Go back in my archives (on the right side of this post) and read "stuff" from 10 years ago.  I'm pretty sure I used to be a lot smarter.

11)Watch Mr. Trump make a complete fool of himself.....again.

And by the way......whoever though balloons would be front page news

I'm off
