I have been MIA for a bit - partly because we were camping for a while with no service and only the most rudimentary of meals; hot dogs, quesadillas, brought-from-home chili and mac and cheese with ham chunks. While we were away, I learned that a good friend of mine and his wife (and dog) were murdered in their home by a neighbour. Apparently a long standing dispute regrding parking and dog poop. Excuse me, but WTF? The guy shot my friend and his wife and their dog and then set the house on fire and went home and shot himself. This all took place in a very quiet and family riendly neighbourhood. Obviously a mental health issue but still very hard to swallow. My friends were recently retired and were living life to the fullest - much international travelling, and at home, biking, hiking, camping and kayaking. . One small spark of joy is that yesterday, my friend who has been waiting for a kidney transplant for over a year, finally got one yesterday. She is doing well and outputting urine - which is a great sign.
