There are 16 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Dec. 15, 2013, Nelson Mandela was laid to rest in his childhood hometown, ending a 10-day mourning period for South Africa’s first Black president.
On this date:
In 1791, the Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution, went into effect following ratification by Virginia.
In 1890, Sioux Indian Chief Sitting Bull and 11 other tribe members were killed in Grand River, South Dakota, during a confrontation with Indian police.
In 1944, the U.S. Senate approved the promotions of Henry H. Arnold, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur and George C. Marshall to the five-star rank of General of the Army and the nominations of William D. Leahy, Ernest J. King and Chester W. Nimitz as Admirals of the Fleet.
In 1965, two U.S. manned spacecraft, Gemini 6A and Gemini 7, maneuvered toward each other while in orbit, at one point coming as close as one foot.
In 1967, the Silver Bridge between Gallipolis (gal-ih-puh-LEES’), Ohio, and Point Pleasant, West Virginia, collapsed into the Ohio River, killing 46 people.
In 1978, President Jimmy Carter announced he would grant diplomatic recognition to Communist China on New Year’s Day and sever official relations with Taiwan.
In 1989, a popular uprising began in Romania that resulted in the downfall of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu (chow-SHEHS’-koo).
In 2000, the long-troubled Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine was closed for good.
In 2001, with a crash and a large dust cloud, a 50-foot tall section of steel [–] the last standing piece of the World Trade Center’s facade [–] was brought down in New York.
In 2009, evangelist Oral Roberts died in Newport Beach, California, at age 91.
In 2012, a day after the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, President Barack Obama declared that “every parent in America has a heart heavy with hurt” and said it was time to “take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this.”
In 2016, a federal jury in Charleston, South Carolina, convicted Dylann Roof of slaughtering nine Black church members who had welcomed him to their Bible study.

Five years ago: Sens. Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio clashed over U.S. military intervention, government spying on Americans’ communications and immigration as front-runner Donald Trump defended his provocative call for banning Muslims from the United States during a Republican presidential debate held in Las Vegas. In a major policy change, Secretary of State John Kerry accepted Russia’s longstanding demand that Syrian President Bashar Assad’s future be determined by his own people.
One year ago: The Hallmark Channel said it would reinstate commercials for a wedding-planning website featuring same-sex couples; the network had pulled the ads following a complaint from a conservative group.

So I drove Kevin into town. We talked. He was extroverted, chatty, talked quickly and in bursts. I'm thinking to myself, "yeah...junkie." I know the symptoms. I know the smell.
I mentioned I went to high school with some Urpmans. He told me what kin they were to him. When I pulled into the parking lot of a store, I saw him eyeing a half-pack of Marlboro's my brother left on the dashboard of my Suburban. "Take 'em," I said. "Thanks, man," he said.
When I got back to the house, Derek was there. I mentioned the kid's name. Derek graduated high school same year I started. It's a small town. We've known a lot of the same people, even though we didn't know each other until 15 years ago. He knew the Urpmans that I knew.
I never even thought about the encounter again until an hour ago. Derek called. "That was Kevin Urpman you gave a ride to that night I came over, right?" My recollection was fuzzy. "Yeah, I think that was his name."
"He was found dead of an overdose in a Sani-Can on December first."
I can't figure out why I'm sitting here grieving. Not my kid. I haven't encountered anyone from his family in 37 years or more. I spent a grand total of about 6 minutes with him. Gave him my brother's cigarettes. That's it.
And I'm fucking sitting here weeping and telling some friends about a junkie I gave a lift and it's fucking up my morning.
Christ.

One night in early November, I had a friend coming by to have a drink and a cigar and talk. I needed ice, so I ran up to the convenience store. Young guy was sitting out front of the store drinking coffee and having a cigarette. When I came out, he introduced himself as Kevin Urpman, and very politely asked if I could give him a ride into town. It was out of my way, but...what the hell. I called my friend. "Hey, Derek. I'm giving a guy ride into town from the Boise Creek Grocery. I'll be back at the house in 10 minutes."You are grieving because you are a good man. Heck, I'm almost grieving by reading your post. Addiction sucks and this kid died way too young. You gave him a ride less than a month ago and now he is no longer walking the earth. I'd have to question if you didn't feel any emotion at all. In any case, I am sorry for your loss.

There is nothing wrong with feeling. It's when you feel nothing that there is a problem.
There is too much need out there, for employment, for food, for shelter, for compassion. There is also so much wasted potential. We should all weep for those in need.
