[Leica] IMGS: Grandkids Again

[Douglas Barry]

Some lovely shots there, Tina, your grandchildren are very cute and seem 
to have an idyllic time on the farm.

Yes, that was a dreadful story emerging from SC. It must be very 
frightening at the randomness of sudden death close by. BTW it also made 
the headlines over here.
However, to us, it appears to be part of the US normal - lunatic with 
gun kills innocents, give us more guns, guns are the solution, arm 
everyone to the teeth, blah, blah.
Hard to believe people put up with it, and elect politicians who 
continue to pander to, and propagate, that sort of thinking.

Keep safe
