Jun 2012

The Unending Spring continues... 40's at night, 70's max during the day.

I'm running out of news. My sources must be all holding their breath, waiting on events. And NOTHING"S HAPPENING...that anyone will admit to. You know what that means: major skulduggery's afoot!

Yes, some real unholy bargains are being made as we sit here pondering how to get to the end of the week in one piece. I hope these deals shoot the dealers in the heart. I would normally settle for foot-shootings, but they are messing with people's lives and fortunes way too much to be tolerated now.

I'm sure we will find out what the bastards are up to, eventually. With any luck, they can't actually do any more damage, and that's their problem....
