Thursday

in honor of shooting victims. Happens every day, so it’s never inappropriate. Should a day pass without a recorded instance of gun fatality, I could post a sign that says, ‘THIS COUNTRY HAS GONE x DAYS WITHOUT A GUN -RELATED DEATH’. Don’t think that sign will get used very often - if at all.
