Remember Remember the 5th of November

Guy Fawkes Day is not celebrated here in the US. I am sure if the liquor companies could find a way to tie into it, we would be celebrating it will liquor. For most Americans, their impressions of Guy Fawkes is from ‘V for Vendetta’. I learned about it when I went on my anglophile kick in high school. To me it seems more about independent thought and thumbing one’s nose at authority. The British government can feel like Big Brother at times. I think I am going to pull out my copy of ‘V for Vendetta’ to read this evening.

Not as much done today as I would like but I am hoping to get more done this evening. Just need to get over this tired that has settled into my bones.

I am grateful for fun stuff around the house.

My sympathies to all at Fort Hood

Not all the details are in and we won't know what happened for sometime.

But currently the count is 12 dead and 31 wounded so far.

I ask for prayers, good wishes, energy for those hurt and those affected by this seemingly senseless shooting.
