Twist
Normal game of politics <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A26935-2004Aug23.html">here</a> (<a href="http://www.bugmenot.com/" target="_blank">bugmenot.com</a> if needed for free registration).

What's a Huffman you might ask. He is the Montana college student so <a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&u=/ap/20040825/ap_on_fe_st/nature_calls_charge">full of it</a> that he is facing criminal mischief charges…

Time
It's that time of the year again. The SOB's (hunters) are out roaming around the place hunting without permission. Sometime around 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm a vehicle roamed all over the place hunting for game.

Yuck
Talk about give a person the willies, I am sure glad we don't have to deal with <a href="http://www.desertdispatch.com/cgi-bin/newspro/viewnews.cgi?newsid1093188974,18879,">killer bees</a> around here.
