I do not own a dishwasher, and hope never to. So on with the scrubbing, and a joyful Thanksgiving to all! Gratias Deo![…]
Something is definitely odd about the gunman and the shooting massacre in Vegas: A 64 year-old multi-millionaire accountant with no military training, no record, apparently a gambling addict, holed up in a hotel room for four days, bringing in nearly two dozen high-powered automatic rifles, sets at least a few up on stands, along with[…]
