11. We had a 67 year old guy who had been sent for mind straightening at St Peter Hosp.

He failed the straightening program in 2013 but they let him out anyway labeled as "incompetent". Night before last he took a gun to a new police officer swearing in ceremony in New Hope, the community he was living when he lost his mind, business, property and wife in that order. He shot two officers, they survived, but others put him out of his misery. Not his first go around with police in at least two jurisdictions.

On the front page of the local section was an article noting that due to lawsuits for mishandling the mental ill in Minnesota, Human Services were running a 19.3 million dollar deficit so of course they are going to have to lay off 43 (mental) care workers.

On the front page of the community section was an article from a generation Y explaining how Boomers had messed up them by not helping them succeed and the millennials who had been rewarded for just showing up and want instant gratification won't work. That businesses did not know what to do with the millennials because they won't play the games. I think someone in Greece or Rome a while back said the same thing.

Might have to break down and go to a chiropractor. I was grocery shopping today cause it was warm and twice I was bent over and went to push on something with my right arm and I immediately lost my balance, had to immediately stand up, started tap dancing so as not to fall on my face. All that sand on the sidewalks is hard to pick out of your face. Once is being awkward. Twice means that something is wrong.
