Guns

Church of the Epiphany sponsored a “Guns to Gardens Buyback.” People brought firearms to be hammered into garden tools. Across the street, a woman, trying to buy guns cheap, held a sign: “I’ll buy your gun!” I crossed the street to say “Howdy.” She wore a hunting knife on her belt and I suppose she had a gun close by. I did not win her over though I did manage to elicit a few words from her without getting stabbed. I offered her a bottle of cold water. She declined and I moved on, glad that I’d made the offer.
