If You're Going to Kill Your Mom and Her Friend, Invest in Gun Maintenance

I wonder if it's the heat down here, but it seems there are a lot of folks in the area who kill their own family members. That's cool.

Then, once the jury decides death is the best course of action, the judge has to agree.

Tonight, I got to play a "perfect" game at third base for the Bold City Kings that included one really good play, so it was a good day.
