    I had read a while back that Australia's version of the gun lobby had worked to relax some of the initial reforms done for gun ownership and that it was much easier to own a gun now versus ten years ago.

    Per this article, Australia currently has twice the amount of guns today than it did in 2001.

    crazy sunset time of year

    more, different days, different locations. it's got to be the specific angle of the sun this time of year or the clarity of the cold air or something...every evening is a show, no filters.

    So true. 2X National Latin Exam gold medal here prior to college, and in 5th semester of college Latin what I learned was that I was actually terrible at Latin.

  4. anecdotal- three unrelated younger working people in my immediate orbit (in PA, VA and TX) have been through a traumatizing round of layoffs/'restructuring' in the last two months. they've all survived the cuts but are stressed/sad to have lost co-workers and have to take on additional roles/responsibilities to pick up the slack, not to mention terrified of the next round...
