... my husband and I woke up this morning, and were talking about the shootings. We went out to eat last night, and we have now determined that wherever we go, whatever we are doing, the first thing we are going to do is find the emergency exits, and mentally make a plan as to how we will escape.

Now if that's not fucked up I don't know what is.

gun fire is a daily occurrence and sadly, is becoming like white noise. Fireworks, vehicles with loud or damaged mufflers all blend in to the serenity of rural living.
