Samicat and Nammu, I think the gun craze in the US has grown into something extremely sick. Like a sordid addiction that was created and stoked by greed and propaganda on the part of lobbies. Also conspiracy theories.

Truly, living in the European country I do makes for a much safer and peaceful environment for me. Less fear and even less anger. Parents here don't fear having their children walk to school alone (or even just be in school) or play outside alone. Themselves, either.

@Nammu, it will be good when we can finally more thoroughly start our grieving processes. My father's house also had pre-listing inquirers. Some showing up at inappropriately early times. My dad's has been on the market for just over a week. I don't know how many offers so far. Sadly, my sister and I are not talking right now. I will likely not be consulted on that, despite being entitled to 50% in the end. She will need to involve me for the buyout of the other property. She wants to buy ME out of that. She can't name her own price, against my objections, on that part.
