Yep, I am a old guy, 46 to be exact. The stuff I blog on is a wide variety of topics that aren’t always youthful thinking. If you don’t mind posts about current events, pop culture, news and music from before many of you were born then its all good. Everyone is welcome here but know you might have to ask a few questions about this, that and the other thing. Age is just a number, but it still is a thing I think or is it?

The San Bernadino Shootings
I’m watching news of the San Bernadino mass shootings today on CNN and it has me feeling very sad and a little scared for the people there. A facility that helps people with mental challenges was attacked for a reason we don’t know yet. This is yet another mass shooting in our country. It is saddening that we have such a problem with guns and violence that seems to be the norm these days.
My friends the killings have to stop. I am not a fan of guns and I think some people own them to give them a sense of power and because of paranoia. Others have guns for sport and protection either reason leaves us living in a wild west situation. There is no excuse for the shootings today or any day. Can we give peace a real chance in our country? I sure hope so.
