A couple of news stories caught my eye today.

The first was of a man who was riding his horse on the side of a Los Angeles freeway . He was subsequently charged with a DUI after being detained by police—apparently there is no such thing as an RUI. This makes me wonder if he’s going to lose his license to drive his car? And was his horse impounded?

The second was about a mother speaking out about the hazards of drugs . A news story like this may seem unremarkable in 2018, but earlier this month the woman’s 20 year old daughter gouged out her own eyes while standing in front of a church. It’s rather difficult for me to wrap my head around something like this; I have a hard enough time when I cut myself shaving. Don’t do drugs, kids.

The good news is that there weren’t any school shootings today! Although it is Sunday, and most gunmen are detail-oriented enough to not shoot up a school on the weekend.
