"Too Young to Die"

As the seemingly endless NYC mayoral campaign enters its final weeks, the howls of the Democratic establishment in the city are only getting louder. They've really convinced themselves that the elect...

For some reason they've gotten really bad in the last week here, we are overdue for our first frost. Her tick preventive is working fine, it's mine that's sub-par 😬
