I was sitting in the Safeway parking lot, at 10pm on the first of October, when my scanner alert went off. It said something was going on in Las Vegas. I listened for two hours. There was shooting. I texted L. and said prayers.
When I woke up the next morning, 58 innocent people were dead, and over 500 were injured. The single shooter was dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
L. texted back that his daughter had been at the concert that had been targeted and she was ok but shook up.
Senseless. Innocent people at a country music festival gunned down, by a man who died without giving a reason.

Not a week later, news of fires in both Northern CA and Southern CA. I thought fire season was over, with Montana getting snow, and Oregon getting rain. But CA is being hit with Diablo Winds which has leveled much of Napa, Sonoma, and Santa Rosa.
