I had relatives stationed at the military facility there a few years back. I visited there often. I look at the newspaper website for Clovis & Tucumcari occasionally & saw the article about the shooting. I haven't heard a motive as to why the teen killed those people.

Anything by Lee Child. Just finished 'The Shoes of the Fisherman' by Morris West. A movie with Anthony Quinn was based on this book. A great read of fiction.

Speaking of the great Anthony Quinn. Pretty cool story.

With hopes of meeting Quinn, I delivered a letter to the theatre addressed to him honestly describing the poster as provocative and saying that if he liked it, it would be my gift. The next day, his assistant called. "Mr. Quinn would like to meet with you before tomorrow's show. Would you be available?" Would I be available to meet one of Hollywood's greatest legends and an actor whose work I greatly admired and respected?
Arriving at the stage door, I was quickly ushered through a labyrinth of corridors to an ornate dressing room swathed in red. The door flung open and Quinn calmly walked in. Tall, barrel-chested with a handful of newspaper clippings, he thrust his hand forward and thundered, "I'm Tony Quinn." Dazed, I mumbled something about how it was an honour to meet him and that I was a fan, particularly of the Federico Fellini film La Strada.

Don't know what it is about the Greeks but Tony Quinn & Telly Savalas were 2 of my favorite actors. I liked Telly in Kojak & his leading role in 'The Marcus Nelson Murders", the pilot movie for the series. Now what did I do with my lolly pop? von.

Hawaii by, here we go again, James Michener. So far I have read: Texas, Mexico, Poland, Tales of the South Pacific,
Recessional, and The Bridges at Toko-Ri. Not one after another but over time. I recycled my television due to lack of interest a year or so ago. I'm more of a listener of sports versus a watcher. And I am addicted to reading.

Finishing up "Life" by Keith Richards.
That's an excellent book.... Anything by Ray Bradbury is a good read.....
Currently I'm reading "Endgame" .... It's a chess strategy book by Mikhail Shereshevsky. ......
I'd like to add if you enjoy Bradbury books, I'd highly recommend Issac Asimov....especially "Pebble in the Sky".... If you haven't already read it...

I've been reading several different versions of the Bible, including the latest King James version along with the New Living Translation. The New world Translation, Christian Standard Bible .... I generally read and compare the various scriptures as for how its worded and to derive an overall sense of the meanings throughout various translations.......
It is a fascinating read....especially for those who are serious about what it means to us today in what is described as the end times or last days......

Definitely appears to be working on some sort of theory in that picture.
