Barcelona

I'm getting disgusted with having to acknowledge attacks like this . . .
In Barcelona, Spain, a vehicle plowed into a bunch of people, killing at least thirteen people and injuring more.  The seaside city, known for its spectacular beaches and its vibrant nightlife - the city that hosted the first Summer Olympics after the Cold War ended - has been rocked to the core.  The Islamic State claimed responsibility.  As that group gets squeezed out of the territory it conquered from Iraq and Syria for its would-be caliphate, it's lashing out in Western cities.  Who knows who will be next?
I'm feeling lousy now . . . I have a friend who lives there. :-(
Not in much of a mood to write a lot here today.  Sorry . . ..
