And that wasn’t the first time the county’s 800 MHz RCS system had developed debilitating problem...
If how well your memorial is attended is any measure of a good life, Larry Scrape of Scrappy’s Tire gets the top award, and well he should.

Larry is what my Dad was, the last of the Mohicans, a rare breed of man who has the integrity of one hundred men, men who used to be very common, but now are harder and harder to f...

They especially need donations of money - for rent, food, litter, medicine, vet bills, paper towels, trash can liners, bleach, Clorox wipes, and spe...

The monies collected during the campaigns go to help local needy vets and their families. Part of the monies help support our national orphanage. The reason I am giving my last thank you is that it appears I am losing the war against esophageal cancer. The average expected lifespan of a person with this aggressive cance... Full story
