    P38 v. P51

    This is an attempt to cleanse my palate after watching part of the debate. The magic of the can… Or better stated, the how to preserve food. We are spoiled today, we go to the local supermarket and purchase almost any type of food we want, regardless of the growing season. It will be fresh…

    Blood Vultures

    A mentally troubled kid decided to take his AR-15 to school and start shooting. The good news is that there was an SRO on site. This SRO ran to the sound of gun fire. The cowardly asshole shooter gave up as soon as a good guy with a gun arrived. The bad news is that…
