That time of year

Posted on September 17, 2014 by camelotkidd

Uh, oh. It’s after Labor Day and our political leaders are pining for war. Put away those whites and get out the camouflage. It’s funny what our leaders admit to when they think no one is paying attention. Remember the run … Continue reading →

Not a Bug but a Feature

Posted on June 26, 2014 by camelotkidd
