Back to the Grind

After a fairly uneventful Fourth of July weekend, today I, like many folks, returned to the grind. Apparently more than 50 people were shot in Chicago over the weekend. Sigh. Turning on the news around here after a weekend (particularly if that weekend was a good weather weekend) is bummer. Usually the broadcast opens with the number of shootings that happened. Sad. The violence is truly out of control in Chicago.
