Well, I had high hopes for this past weekend to get back to my story. I really wanted to move it along. Unfortunately, I didn’t and now it is not a good time.

So many of us are at a loss for words. We want answers and we want understanding. One person that sold one of the guns said he wants closure. And there are so many willing to come up with stories, conspiracies etc for their own unstated reasons. Right now, the only person that knows the real truth is dead. Everything else you hear is conjecture even from law enforcement to outright lies from God knows who.

The sad reality is real answers are going to come slowly. And the answer may not make sense to most of us. We cannot let our desire to have an answer interfere with the truth when it does come out. There are the gullible that get preyed on, people will ignite fears and hatred in these times.

As you know I have an attempt at an imagination so I could cook up a few unruly stories in a heartbeat.

So please everyone lay low, stay with family, talk to close friends, yet do not fall victim to the hyperbole around us right now. Reach out and get proper help if you need it. These events are psychologically troubling so there may be a real need to talk to someone. We have had so many this past decade. They are coming fast and furious. Some we know such as the terrorist attacks and even though we fear a bit more now, we can at least put a real finger on our fear. We can make decisions about what we do and where we go. We under any circumstances though cannot let our fear run and ruin our lives. Or let it destroy who we are as a people and country.

Last Sunday in Las Vegas though is different. The more you read the more it does not make sense.  This makes it even more important not to jump to conclusions or let anyone sway you with unsubstantiated facts or misapplied facts. Stay strong.

And of course, prayers and condolences to the families, friends, loved ones, and even strangers that were there on this tragic evening. They need us and they need us to be strong, stay level headed, and comfort them either directly or indirectly any way you find to do something that may even comfort yourself.   And for the one fact we do all know, many thanks to the individuals and first responders who did what they could to save lives and heal the wounded. There is never enough to say for what you did and do.
