23rd February, 2018.
Yes …
Yesterday was one of those days.
After all, I had to to get at four — as I have, today — to go to work.
But ended up, convinced my alarm had gone off, at two.
Which meant I ended up in one hell of a state, finishing work early.
Which ALSO meant I posted yesterday’s Teaser answers up a day early: sorry folks!
I don’t think it helps:that I seem to be going down with a touch of flu, and a temperature over the past few days.
Which meant grabbing the window seat, at work yesterday, helped.
The 1º temperatures we had, didn’t half help.

Can I add a brief thought, here?
As we know, last week saw seventeen people killed in a school shooting in Florida: sparking yet more discussion of the USA’s gun control laws.
I think for many outside the US?
The easy availability of serious weaponry, weaponry usually reserved for the military, is something shocking: especially when that country allows someone to buy those weapons … to tragic ends.
I’ve always had the impression the US Constitution is one of the world’s finest pieces of legal writing: but the Second Amendment, that allows for that?
Might need revision.
At any rate?
It seems President Trump’s position is that arming teachers would be a good way to defend pupils. Which some teasers oppose.
One thing I do know? That I’ve seen on the news?
Is that, like many schools in the US, the school where the shooting took place had an armed deputy onsite: in order to deal with exactly this sort of situation.
He respond to the shooter: didn’t see him, didn’t go into the building, what have you.
Why, I don’t know.
Although I think I, armed or otherwise, would be hesitant to deal with an armed and active shooter.
But?
There was an armed person on site, to deal with this sort of situation, who didn’t.
Which, to me?
Undermines the President’s argument.
