One Never Knows, does one?

I have noticed my blog entries do not always show up after posting. Friend Evelyn 'sometimes' calls or e-mails asking 'Where is the Blog?' LOL  I know I am not the only one having the problem.  But they do seem to always get there. I  revert them back to a draft and re-publish, at times, to try to force it. That doesn't work but I feel better. LOL

Strange thing related to the terrible shooting in Orlando.  You that read my books would recognize the 'aircraft maintenance person' Vickie. She is a real person and actually is a top notch aircraft mechanic, good looking, a great singer and a sweet person. Anyway she is retired and lives three doors from the apartment of the infamous 'shooter',  Omar Mateen. They were all evacuated from the building when the shooter's car was found in the parking lot. The Police & FBI were worried there may be a bomb in the car or apt.

I have mentioned something like this in another entry, it is always supposed to someone you have no knowledge of. I was shocked to hear this. We have not talked to Vickie, but I am sure she and her brother, Harry, must have spoken to the shooter many times.  They are friendly, Missouri country folk and go out of their way to be friendly.

We are all shocked at the shooting. We spend a lot of time around Orlando. Millions of folk go to Orlando for Disney and Universal Studios, so the area surely kicks in memories of many folk.  My son e-mailed. "I drove by the shooting spot a little while back, WOW."

We just left Wildwood  3 days ago. Orlando is just a few miles down the turnpike.  WE pray for the victims and their families. I am hoping we (In the USA) are more vigilant in crowded places. I hate to think we are going to reach the level of danger of one of the middle eastern countries.  Although I do not approve of the lifestyles of the victims, NONE OF THEM DESERVED TO BE SHOT DOWN LIKE ANIMALS, they are human beings, part of God's creation.

Not a joyful entry, but this is real life in the world today.  In a case like this, new immigration policies would not have helped. BUT as for me, I think anyone coming into this country from now on,  should be known thoroughly before granted a visa.  There are lots of alternatives, building a safe zone in their own countries would be cheaper and I am sure most of these folk would prefer to remain in their own countries.

I am not an authority on immigration, illegal or otherwise, but I do think we need more control on folk entering this country.
