In the News

Tucson is still in the national spotlight following the shooting of Congresswoman Gabby. I hear that President Obama is coming tonight and will speak at the U of A. I hope he stays safe. Most people are still in a state of shock that such a thing could happen here. Some are trying to find something to blame. I myself think that mental health programs should be bolstered, that gun laws should be revamped so that not everyone here in town has the right to carry a concealed weapon, and that right wing extremists should tone down their rhetoric. Bad things would still happen, but maybe not as many.

I personally continue to be impressed by how many nice, friendly people I've met here. They always seem willing to help and tend to be kind and respectful toward seniors. I'm sure there are some exceptions, but I haven't met many of them.
