Sorry to hear that man. Hope everyone you know is safe.

That sucks.

I wrote and deleted the next sentence a few times, because it all sounds so trite. I really don’t know what to say except I wish it would end and I will keep voting against guns.

And even that sounds trite. Fuck this shit.

I’m sure Ike is more familiar, but in my mind Lewiston is a small Maine city. I’d guess a few 10k people.

Definitely has a run down, post industrial age feel too it whenever I’ve been there. Bates College, expensive liberal arts school is there.
