TGIF! This has been the craziest week ever!

Good Day World!

Last night five Dallas police officers were murdered by a black sniper.

A dozen officers were shot
during what had been a peaceful protest in Dallas over the recent deaths of Alton Sterling, a black man shot by white officers, and Philando Castile, another black man  also killed by police officers.

"It was the deadliest day for law enforcement since 9/11," according to NBC News.

The announcement this week that the much anticipated FBI director's report on Hillary Clinton being "extremely careless" but not guilty of wrong-doing, has further polarized Congress. 

James Comey, FBI Chief, was roundly backed by the Republicans as being the best man to look into Hillary Clinton's transgressions and settle the case once and for all.

They sang Comey's praises...right up until they heard his decision not to go after Clinton. Suddenly, Comey was summoned to appear before the Republican-led House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to "explain" his actions.

It's been really painful to watch one of my favorite all time comedians, Bill Cosby, embroiled in sex charges. He was in court this week:

Speaking of celebrities, but on a positive note this time,

Sulu Will Be Married and Gay in 'Star Trek Beyond': Report.


"Star Trek Beyond," the latest of the "Star Trek" movies, will show Hikaru Sulu with a husband and a daughter, according to a report by Australia-based Herald Sun newspaper.

Of course, many other things happened this week. I just selected an ecelectic assortment to demonstrate some highs and lows.
TGIF! Maybe next week will have more highlights, and less lowlights.
Time for me to walk on down the road...
