hours before the crazy man ran his vehicle into a Edmonton Police officer, rushing out to stab him at the Edmonton Eskimo football game outside Commonwealth stadium. This occurred about 8pm. And too think I had a chance to go to the game for free. It was military appreciation day. That was our little taste of terrorism. The would be attacker ran off to get a U-Haul van (details for me are sketchy) and proceeded to use it as a weapon and attempted to run over pedestrians. As shocking to our little community as this was, pales by comparison to what happened last night in Vegas at a country music outdoor concert last night. At the moment, 50 people dead, 400 wounded (how many critically) I don't know. The attacker, is another loan wolf that apparently had 10 rifles in his hotel room over looking the concert and let hundreds of round ring out into the crowd. Authorities there don't believe this was sponsored by any Islamic state. The shooter was a 64 year old man from a retirement community. Apparently there were some Canadians at the concert. My heart goes out to the wounded here from Saturday night and those killed and wounded in Las Vegas yesterday.
Its a windy day out there with strong gusts, only about +1 degree out there on a cold October day.
Its going to be tough going into work today and keeping focused on my job, with what's going on in the world. Life goes on. Maybe the shift might end early. I hope so. Anyway, that's enough for now.
