I am sitting here thinking what should I write about today. I live within the land of Tourists who come to places here like Disney World and Universal Studios. Great places to visit. I live north of them.

Last night we celebrated New Year's Eve. Talked to friends and family. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year. I even wrote my first story before midnight. And it happened. The unthinkable. In an area that people from all over the world come for fun and entertainment. A small Burb just north of the City of Orlando called Rosemont. Just 15 mins Travel time — about 6.5 miles from the center of the city. Just a skip and a hop.

People woke up to go on their adventures at the many attractions. Life distractions are found throughout the area. While a story unfolds about a tragedy. A drive-by shooting. Local News reported that a woman and two boys - one age 6. Were shot in a residential neighborhood on New Year's Eve.

Not too happy a New Year for them. They are listed as stable. I hope, I wish, that they recover. That the shooter, for whatever reason he shot is given the death penalty when caught. The only reason to pull a gun and shoot at someone is in self-defense.

Orlando Florida. City and County. A safe place to visit? Except for the victims.
