Heroes, zeroes, perverts and who knows. I read or heard somewhere that the DA can get an indictment against a ham sandwich. That may be so, but at some point the facts have to be sorted out. I think if there is a weak link in the chain, it may well be the DA-grand jury relationship, as that does...

As a kid, I never minded that it was hotter than a firecracker on the Fourth of July.
Independence Day was the best holiday, hands down. My favorite cousins came over, and we played 2-on-2 tackle football until we were all dripping with sweat. We stopped only for watermelon as the Kansas sun...

Well, no, not really. But I did take apart and successfully reassemble the brakes on my road bike this weekend. I judge my success by the fact I made it into work alive -- and although my trip was speedy, I stopped at every stop sign.
