They are not letting us do this any longer so we are effectively cut off from the river. We live in eastern Washington where the Native Americans can sell the "hot" fireworks & there is no safe place to do so. Hopefully our town wont burn to the ground.

They(bn) lost. In todays safety measures this should never have happened. Hope they find the 3 crew members but it doesnt look good.

Some people just have addictive personalities, she apparently was one of them.

I have always believed there should be no statute of limitations for rape.

Other than that, I just schedule my time to be able to cook scratch menus. Heat & eat is stuffed so full of garbage that even the few occasion I use it I still cringe.
