And we haven't forgotten it. We were at K.C.'s Cabin in Spring Grove, Illinois, in the afternoon and had just ordered hamburgers when we looked at the TV screen and remarked to each other, "Man, that sure looks like the NIU campus."
The sound was off, but eventually we saw the words saying there had been murders at NIU's campus in DeKalb. A whole bunch of people in the bar started watching and one couple got very concerned, saying they had a child there. They tried to call, but couldn't get through.
A heavily-armed outsider entered Cole Hall and opened fire on the class in session there, killing 5 and wounding another 21. I know his name, but will not ever use it as I don't think mass murderers' names should ever be used.
At least he did do something right in his life and killed himself.
We wore Northern Illinois stuff when we went out earlier today.
Not Ever to be Forgotten.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
