Well, here's a couple pics of the Kishu Shimpaku after I finished wiring it at home. I really have to start taking more time taking these pics, as I saw them, and was less than impressed.
Rough day today, as the Virginia Tech shooting happened, and stirred me deeply. Sometimes I just find myself shaking my head-it was a terrible tragedy, a truly sad chain of events-but the press seems ready to make their question heard, their statement the first. What, as a society, have we become? Why do we lose ourselves in "who should have done what" arguements? We should mourn those who have passed, and hope for those that were injured to make a full recovery. No law, no dismissal of Presidents, no question or blame of police chief will change the fact this has happened...and no matter what, it could happen any time again. Thats why life is so fragile, and why we should make the most of the time we have.
