Tragedy in Texas

I feel numb. So rarely do I disconnect from real life; news; Facebook and my phone dinging with Twitter notifications....but yesterday I had to go deal with my mother's health issues. With temperatures reaching 97 degrees while stuck in traffic, during a very long day my phone, which has been on it's last legs for months, officially proceeded to shut down. I knew nothing...

RIP Officer Vernon Alston, U.S. Capitol Police

Very sorry to learn of the passing of Officer Vernon J. Alston Jr., of Magnolia, DE. He had served with the U.S. Capitol Police since 1996. Sadly, he collapsed Saturday while shoveling snow in his neighborhood. Our condolences go out to his family, friends and department. RIP Sir and thank you for your service.
