When we visit our son in Buckinghamshire I marvel at the red kites soaring on thermals above his house. Here in Silves I watch storks. Large birds are amazing!
It’s another fine morning here in Silves.
Yesterday we investigated the Nova Mesquite restaurant at lunchtime: another place worth a second visit or more. The photo shows it after lunch. It was full earlier of people I did not really want on my photo.
Phil had baby squid, while I had a rather copious salada rustica, with a huge amount of goats’ cheese! Very tasty!
I was reading about yet another mass shooting in the USA. It seems that two teenage boys attacked an Islamic centre in San Diego, “fully armored” with handguns and rifles, authorities said. According to the FBI the teenagers were “radicalised” online. They both died of self inflicted gunshot wounds. What a waste of young lives!
The weapons were apparently registered to their parents, but the young men clearly had access to them. Investigators found 30 firearms and a crossbow after searching two residences in connection with the investigation. Remily said agents also seized tactical gear, ammunition and electronics.so maybe they managed to acquire more stuff online. But what are parents doing keeping dangerous weapons where their children can access them.
And the parents, or atvleast the mother of one of them, knew that their son was disturbed and up to no good. “On Monday, the mother of one of the shooters alerted police soon before the shooting occurred that her son, a 17-year-old high school student, was suicidal and potentially armed. Officers were looking for the 17-year-old and his 18-year-old friend in a neighborhood near the mosque as they opened fire.”
Something needs to be done about gun culture in the USA.
Just another aspect of the madness of the modern world.
Life goes on. Stay safe and well, everyone!
