No riding today. The road to my cul de sac is strewn with wood and other debris from where the tornado shredded homes, trees, and power lines in it’s path…

degenerate hooligan that only caused trouble. In all actuality he was just a kid having fun but instead of getting an education he was locked up in a basement for majority of his life for not following the norm. He was described as dining “... on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch,” and with " a long jagged scar that ran across his face;...teeth...were yellow and rotten;.. eyes popped, and...drooled most of the time.”This “monster” persona was built upon nothing but rumors and lies…

What started out as a coat made for arctic expeditions, Himalayan quests, and Yukon excursions, has now blossomed into one of winter’s biggest fashion trends. Because, oui,…

I would think this is a good tactic for survival for the species that live there since many predators might know the tree is infected so they can steer away from the tree. Glenview Woods consists of all different…
