My kid opted for A & M for college. She changed majors and decided to get back closer to home just as the legislature there enacted that dumbass law forcing colleges to accept armed students. I find it ironic that Texas is OK FINE with guns but you can't buy a freaking vibrator there. (WTF is wong with those people?)

I have a lot of appreciation for the people we met there and for how kind they all were to us whenever we visited. Not so much for that bullshit gun humper attitude and the hate for women.

My sympathies to all who are grieving after today.

Laura
