St. Aloysius pray for us.
You forgot to tell them about the bulletproof vests. Include a link where they can buy one if they are planning a visit.
Here in Mill Valley, we had an “active shooter” situation on Thursday. I was glad the vest laws were in place, as we live three blocks from the active shooting. The “seek shelter” and “active shooter” texts have also added some new terms to our colloquial speech. We mothers call it “active shooter wine”.
My grandfather *was* named Aloysuis.
So your great-grandchildren will be all set!
That should clear up a lot of confusion in Australia. Thanks for the public service!
