One of the great ones.  From Maverick to Rockford to Maverick’s dad, and a whole slough slew bunch of parts in between.  Continue reading

So in Chicago last weekend, a guy first confronted and then shot at some people leaving a party.  One of them was a military service member with a legal concealed carry permit.  Two shots and bad guy went to the hospital.  Two unidentified perps continued to shoot at the people.  Wonder if any of the… Continue reading

I know a lot of folks on Facebook.  I used to have an account but the reports of privacy issues finally got to be too much for me.  And now they have been experimenting on people using their media without knowledge or permission.  But yet most folks I know still maintain their accounts.  Some of… Continue reading
