Now Todd. I don't mind ya talking trash about Alabama. Lord knows they deserve it. Water Guy is a Oregon State fan as I recall. But watch out bad mouthing dem Saints or LSU. Especially when being on...
Todd, you need to get tags for upper Skagit County Washington. They are so thick up here that the Government has hired "professionals" to thin the heard. I have no idea what that means, but that's...

Good luck Todd on the hunt. I went Elk hunting with a real hunter about 10 years ago. He shot one at about 100 yards out across a ridge. Took us 8 hours to get to it. Then another day to get it out....
Well logo, maybe I did over simplify it a bit. But I do believe that there are dictated cancer researchers out there working hard for a cure. At the same time there are pharmaceutical companies...
Simple….Why find a cure, when treating it, is so lucrative....
