Today marks thirty-three years since Aaron & Ben were born. I was thirty-three when Noah was born. I feel so old.

#BloodyEar#Shooting2024ButlerPA Shortly after 6:00 yesterday evening at a Twitler rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, a shooter on the roof of a building about 400 feet from the stage appears to have shot eight bullets at the former president and into the crowd. Twitler appeared to flinch and reach for his right ear as Secret Service agents crouched over the former president.
#PowerOutage#July2024PowerOutage Ive come back to this date to the update I didnt get a chance to post because of the power outage. Aaron had left for Galesburg last Friday to catch a train to Chicago to join Ben, Aliya & Morgon to attend their friend Dereks wedding. They arrived here late Sunday night because, as usual, Amtrak was running almost four hours late. They all went out to eat this evening to celebrate A&Bs birthday and were on their way home around 8:30 p.m. when they got caught in the same windstorm that knocked out our power. We all wandered about the house with flashlights while remarking upon how strong the winds were. Fortunately I have a back-up battery to power my CPAP machine so it wasnt too bad for sleeping; although the house did get warmer because we had no air conditioner running.
