A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

ReplyDeleteI gather that when the excursion trains did their run-pasts for the photographers, that the firemen would cut off the secondary air in order to make it smoke prettily.
ReplyDeleteAlso, just one English road used 5.5 million tons of coal a year. No wonder the mines began closing after dieselization.
