Well, the sunset is a thing of beauty....created under the worst of circumstances but awe inspiring none the less.
These kinds of situations are so heartbreaking and beyond understanding. My heart goes out to the people that have suffered for the mindless stupidity that inspired such an act.

Glad for that! I hope he gets what he deserves

Exactly what that would be is debatable. I hope things get better soon.

~And there's gunfire from the rooftops and the blood begins to spill
And the body of a dead youth lies stretched upon the ground~


When the news reports are of death and destruction all around, it's wonderful to see that kindness and humanity still exists on some level. It takes a photo such as this to realize it.

Since we don’t have swimming pool (inground) in our yard, my family decided to buy this above ground pool. As they said, above ground swimming pools are an easy option for many people, as they are cheaper and easier to install. They are relatively quick and easy to build. Constructed from pre-fabricated kits, it is possible for you to put your above-ground pool together by yourself or with your family; however most people opt to hire a professional to install their pool as this comes with a guarantee. Another benefit of choosing above ground pool is that most municipalities do not think about all these pools as permanent set ups and don’t add to property taxes for homes with above ground pools.
