March... Hup, two, three, four...
March Madness... Go Trinity! Oh wait... they don't get to compete... I could never have picked a winner from the original roster (in fact I just had to look up who is in the final four and I can say with some certainty I wouldn't have picked any of them...) Now I'll go out on a limb and say Loyola will beat Michigan 71-69, Kansas will beat Villanova 83-79, and then Kansas vill beat Loyola 81-69. Given that I know nothing about what is going on with any of the teams, I have about as much chance of getting that right as winning the lottery, but you never know...
March For Our Lives... I'm glad to see that America's youth has gotten excited about something, but based on a relatively quick search on the internet (so you know it must be true) mass shootings accounted for only approximately 3% of gun related deaths in 2017 (with fatalities and injuries both rising, while mass shooting incidents and fatalities declined slightly.) Not that all the numbers aren't outrageously high with nearly 1 mass shooting a day in 2017...
Well that took a dark turn... see what happens when I don't have enough pictures for the month?
I guess I can try to lighten the mood with some silly holidays before I go: Adopt A Rescued Guinea Pig Month - Humorists are Artists Month - International Mirth Month - Mad for Plaid Month - National Cheerleading Safety Month - National Kite Month - National Noodle Month - Optimism Month... who makes these things up?
See you when I get back from China...
