“the locals would be tucked up in bed, thankful the strain of enjoying themselves was done with for another year.”
― from “Mystery at the Old Mill: A completely gripping cozy mystery novel (An Eve Mallow Mystery Book 4)”
“Individuals with little knowledge and poor critical thinking abilities are unable to recognize lies and deception. Education plays an enormous role.

All firearms are deadly. All firearms are unthinking and unforgiving. Once a bullet exits the barrel it stands a good chance of destroying whatever is in its path, and all the sorrow in the world will not put the bullet back in the barrel.
Prevent unauthorized access to your firearms and practice firearm safety.

A word to the wise. Desert hiking is an adventurous experience when done properly. But remember,

A tornado in Cape Cod is devastating to them, but meaningless to me in California. A murder in Mississippi is NOT national news. But it does add undue stress to our lives. A normal person shouldn’t be exposed to all the mayhem that occurs in the country. We can barely manage our local madness.
