The news was so depressing last night, I just went to bed early... earlier than explainable by going to standard time.
1. 12 killed, CBS evening news with Jeff Glor (on site) didn't even mention the 20 some wounded as if they didn't exist. Just the dead. Like it isn't a tragedy to be shot and survive???? Briefly, they acknowledged that there's an "epidemic" of mass shootings in the country in the last couple weeks. Not one word about gun control, though.
2. A wild fire 150 miles from me that started at 6:30AM and had already destroyed a whole town spewed smoke directly into the Bay Area where I live. I didn't even find out until I watched the news and had just spent an hour outside doing yard work. Wondered why I was coughing so much again. I've had a cold for a week, damn, wish I could have found out about the bad air... I don't watch TV all day, most days not at all. It was Nov. 8, for fuck's sake. Can you say "global warming?"
3. Protests in dozens of cities all over the country because Trump is throwing a noose around the Mueller investigation.
