The Standard Telecasters are made out of Fender's hi-tech production facility in Mexico. This allows Fender to produce a high quality guitar at an affordable price.…

that no matter what the police officers think they can’t kill the suspect. This “policy of supplying, by opposite and rival interests, the defect of better motives,” is designed to reinforce the people’s confidence in the Constitution. Although “parchment barriers” are unreliable, the Constitution can be relied on because the people’s—and in a different way, their representatives’—passions and interest will be tied to their opinion of the Constitution’s importance of good…

For my fellow gas station eaters, this is completely normal and almost like a scavenger hunt. It's all about finding the next gas station that has some good eats. My first contribution to my new series Loving This Gas Station! is Rudy's. Before my recent adventure to Austin, I asked my Facebook friends on some good eats suggestions and Rudy's came up several times. Even while in…

They told me to close my eyes when I did that, but I didn’t and ended up scratching the brail off and eating it. It was nasty, the parchment, I wouldn’t suggest it.
