The Arizona shooting has cast a spell on me. It is all so sad to see this ind shooting. I want to climb in bed and pull the blanket over my head.

Instead I park on Wharf #2 in the late afternoon and watch the City's fire boat practice wirh their water hose trying to drown a buoy near the wharf. The buoy won and refused to go under. The fireman got lots of practice with his aim. Finally the boat left. I was rooting for the buoy.
