Have Enough People Died from Gun Violence Yet?

There have been 3 shootings, one made national news, in the last 2 days in the Twin Cities area. And I used to work in a place in Minneapolis where horrible stuff happened and it never made the news. So, now I want the idiot who said that if guns kill people, then spoons make people fat--to tell me that one again. I realize this person is scared of the world and has to carry a gun everywhere, but for gods sake, think of the children who have been killed because you're afraid that you might lose your gun, and that's not even going to happen.

American Water Lotus

I noticed the American Water Lotus were blooming in a nearby lake that we canoe and go fishing in. So, today we went to see them. We also did a little fishing, and my wife caught a nice sunfish that we released. The two swans that we saw in late June were still there. They don't appear to have ever tried to hatch the eggs we saw strewn about on the island. I still think that perhaps they are a young pair, not yet ready to raise a family. We also saw Water-lilies. But it was the Lotus that were spectacular at this time of the year.
