"Campus Massacre"

I would weigh in on the current tragedy, but it will be dissected thoroughly by every person in the media. It will be interesting to see who was behind the deadly deeds. And, of course, the administration is going to catch a lot of blame for not acting quickly.

Back when I was at "Truck U.," my old alma mater, crazed maniacs were the least of our worries. Even tho' there was the marine who fired bullets down on the University of Texas campus back in the mid-60's. And who was played by the venerable Kurt Russell in the movie about the tragic incident.

My class was more concerned about going to Nam and trying to get laid. Our hormones were on fire, and we wanted to quelch the flame.

It's a different world we live in today. My heart ges out to the families that will have to deal with the loss of loved ones. And the administration is going to be raked over the coals. Seems they handled the situation poorly. Sending out e mails of the impending danger ain't gonna cut it when you're driving your car or walking across the campus.

The facts will certainly unfold.

Gimme shelter, v.c.

P.S. 4 more days at work. Hopefully, no crazed gunman will venture into my establishment allah Luby's Cafeteria circa 1990's.
