Since this is going to be a Christmas thread, I might as well start Grinching. We left the farm Saturday afternoon because I have to go to a ceremony on Monday. The plan was to go into Richmond and see the Christmas lights Saturday night, get a few things done on Sunday, and leave again Monday morning.
We did go to the James River Center, and the lights were pretty, and there were idiotic people coming out of every crack and crevice around. We were just a couple of blocks from where there had been several murders, and the police were exercising Nazi style control over the area.
I hate the fact that during the Christmas season when supposedly peace and goodwill toward men, is the rule, it's necessary to carry a 1911 and spare magazines.
This morning's news had a story about a triple shooting in Williamsburg over the weekend. I haven't bothered to look at who got killed in Richmond. I don't think Norman Rockwell imagined this lunacy.
