Fairly bright today, even if with a good cover of cloud. No complaints about the weather so far. More than can be said of Puerto Rico, which has had 24 inches of rain in 24 hours, causing mudslides and flash-floods. The tropical weather system responsible is not a formal depression, but its impact is still quite severe.
Finland has seen another college shooting, the second in two years. Twenty are feared dead, but the condition of the gunman is unknown - he shot himself after going on his rampage. Finland has a high rate of private gun ownership. This story echoed of the tragedy at Virginia Tech in 2007.

ReplyDeleteI couldn`t believe that the shooting happened in Finland, I would never associate violent crime with that country. Whatever goes through the minds of these perpetrators I just can`t imagine, my heart goes out to the familiies of the people who died.
