Well, it happened again. Another mass shooting. What the fuck!
It is a horrible thing that happened, a thing that should never have happened. I am absolutely devastated.
At least the gunman was not Muslim, nor some other minority; it seems to be a lone wolf. Maybe an angry white guy (64 year old), who knows? Not that this make it any better, nor that this is a thing to celebrate. Actually, for me being a white guy of 64, it makes me feel horrible. I know I am writing this way too early to come to real conclusions but I need to get this off my mind.
It is amazing to watch TV and watch what went on and how everyone analyze it. I just hear the automatic gun fire and wonder how people get these guns. Honestly, you do not need them to hunt but you can use it to mow down people like I mow my lawn, but then he did it from a high-rise motel room.
Readers of my blogs know that while I am not a hunter, I am pro hunting. I am a naturalist/ecologist who believes like my hero Aldo Leopold that because of the extirpation of the natural predators we need to hunt deer, but we do not need automatic rifles to hunt for deer. We use those to kill people as we saw last night!
I am a trainer with the State of Virginia. I travel throughout the state to teach Erosion and Sediment Control and Stormwater Management. I try to take the back roads and I like taking photographs. I am a naturalist, trained in biology and ecology with a very deep rooted love for nature. In this blog I like to share my photography hobby, other hobbies of mine, including my passion for sailing, biking, hiking and nature. I will also share my philosophical outlook on life and some of experience.
