It's been a while since I updated his charts. Rest assured, I am keeping the data up-to-date. Here is his wieght chart and a cost-per-day breakdown.

The fellow told me the story of "Two Guns, Arizona". His story matched ( Read more... )

The last three times I have been to the Willow house, there has been a pigeon sitting right by the door on a newspaper machine. The first time I saw it, it freaked me out. I walked right up to it to put out a smoke and didn't see it until my hand was about three inches away from it. It didn't move. At first, I though it was a stuffed bird, but it ( Read more... )
