checkin June 5 on a beautiful but windy Sunday.
Fetched up Memorial Day decorations from the graveyard (the yard requires Memorial Day decorations be picked up on the Sunday following Memorial Day unless they're in a permanent display part of the grave marker)
The Giant Swallowtail cats (caterpillars, that is-- #
caturday for me means something non-feline).
Today in 1968 Robert F. Kennedy was killed by a shooter, quite a thing to rcomnmemorate as we're experiencing more mass shootings today right now. As talking heads discuss/debate the current issues with guns and regulation, it's well worth calling to mind the 1930s era where the U.S. actually learned its lesson about a policy of 2nd Amendment absolutism as prohibition-era gangs ran illicit hooch and fighting each other over turf as if this were modern day Guatemala.
This is what today's gun nuts want the U.S. to turn into again, and we've already been there, done that, passed laws that outlawed particular types of guns. And we can do it again. If we don't, we'll be revisiting Bonnie, Clyde, Pretty Boy Floyd, Al Capone, and ilk. The only people wanting unrestricted gun ownership, carrying and usage are the criminals and the "good guys" who give the criminals cover. Those good guys are bad guys.
