I was awake well into the night last night thinking about what I had seen and how it could have turned out. Thank God he is okay.

Same here. I woke several times during the night and it was the first thought I had when I perceived the morning sun about 0515 this morning. I was in a foul mood all day but at the same time grateful and thinking of the killed man's family and how the Trump family may feel.

I irritate the stuffing out of my wife about missed accidents and disasters. I usually put them in what I think is the proper perspective, the past but something to learn from. I have missed at least injury and maybe death a time or two and it didn't shake me so much but I am awfully grateful. I wonder how I would feel if Trump?

I was out front watering by the highway this evening. We have an irresponsible gun happy neighbor about 3/8 mile south. They were popping off random rounds. I heard one and what sounded like the whiz of a bullet. Very strange sound, distinctive, just like in a movie. I'd do something about the oaf but he would just do it again and shoot this way on purpose. Rednecks and libertarians and liberals all share some of the same insolent gene pool.

Talk about a lonely man! A southside republican? Keep your head down.
