Somewhere I got a paperback copy of “Crime and Punishment”. IIRC it was about 900 pages. I got to about page 800. I was at my former business partners home one evening, and the conversation got to what we were reading. I mentioned I was reading C&P. My partner asked what is it about, and his...

We had an adult(mother?) and three pups living under our deck a couple years back. I enjoyed watching them play, chasing one another, over, under and around. Pretty creatures. I guess they moved on. Haven’t seen them since. While I’ve never heard it in the flesh, I understand their screams can...

I’ve got a 4” and 5” Mod 63s but my only snubby “kit gun” is an 8 shot Charter Arms Pathfinder. I’ve got a little over $200 in it.
