Congressman

Movie Review: Rampage: Capital Punishment (Netflix)

Helpful Information: Winter To Do List for Geezers

We’ll it’s fall and for me (and you?) time to get ready for winter. I’ll guess that for a lot of you this isn’t much of a list—cover the pool, store the lawn mower and you’re done. But when you
