Getting2Work

I don’t usually write during the weekday because  I am just too wiped out in the evening.  But after I was done with making a quick dinner for the family, I turned on my computer to go through my emails.  Of course opening up a web browser also brought up the headline news.  Well, this one caught my eyes, Gunman on 101 Freeway overpass in Santa Barbara is arrested.  The gunman was an Army veteran who served in Iraq.  It was a pretty drastic way of making a statement.  The news article also mentioned that he had a gun but it was not loaded.  That was pretty scary considering that if he should even raise his gun like he was going to do something, the police or SWAT might had opened fire.  His younger sister said that he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  I can’t even imagine what it must be like for these service men and women.  I am glad to read that no one was hurt.

That overpass story reminded me of some other people that were making a statement on one of the overpasses along the 405 north.  It was at the slower part of the drive and there was certainly plenty of time to notice and read their signs.  These two people were holding signs indicating that they were against Prop 8.  Not sure how many minds they had changed but I am sure a lot of people read their signs.
