7th September, 2024.
Yay!
It’s Saturday!
Which means we’ll allowed to dance about in a way that borders on frenzied.
So long as our knees allow it.
On a more serious note?
I’ve got a reviewed planned.
Keep your eyes peeled.

OK … we watch the news, don’t we?
Or, at least, we pay attention to it: and, therefore, we know that there’s been another school shooting in the US.
In Georgia.
Both the fourteen year-old shooter, and his father*, have been arrested: and charged in connection with the crimes.
We also know the USA is holding a presidential election, this November.
What we may not realise?
Is that Republic vice-presidential candidate, JD Vance, has given a campaign speech about it: in which he calls such things a ‘fact of life’.
Referred to the killer as ‘a psychopath’ …
And says that US school security should be boosted.
Frankly? I don’t know if the killer is psychotic.
But is a hormonal teenager who’s been brought up in a culture that has easy access to guns.
As for boosting school security?
I think Mr Vance only has the half of it.
America needs better gun control: not just better security or shooter drills.

Just as a last point … ?
I was in Brentwood High Street, on Thursday: and forgot to mention a bit of a find.
We have plenty of gadget shops in town: as, I suspect, do many others!
I went past one … and noticed the vintage G4 Power Mac they had in the window!
I had one, myself, many years ago: one significantly older than the pictured one!
I don’t know if it’s functional: I suspect not.
I do know it’s not for sale, as I asked the assistant about it.
But?
It was nice to see.
