Gunlaw or gun laws

America must decide

one or the other

.

by Scooj

  • Gunlaw (or gun law) is not a widely standardized term, but it can be interpreted in different contexts.
  • In the Old West or “Wild West” sense, the phrase can suggest a situation where: Law and order are dictated not by courts or formal justice, but by who has the most firepower.
  • Violence or threat of violence determines authority — i.e., might makes right.

In memory of my mother-in-law who died peacefully yesterday. We were lucky enough to celebrate her 95th birthday with her a couple of weeks ago. We will miss her.

Summer ends

A perfect summer

ends with a grand finale

rain showers forecast

by Scooj

  • It looks like today might be the last sunny and warm day of a glorious summer, but the lack of rain has caused all sorts of problems for farmers and nature, so the rain forecast for the next couple of weeks is actually very welcome.
