This story of the FBI tracking deep cover Russian spies is pretty amazing…
Once again, our summer camping means I’m less likely to keep my daily posts streak going but more likely to feel guilty when we get back from the weekend. I didn’t do it last weekend but I’ll post a few quick “catch-up” posts for the last few days because I know my readership is disappointed […]
My Love,Dusk. We're in position overlooking MAGA camp. I see their sentries' red hats in the dim light of their tiki torches and it steels my nerves. At midnight, we strike.
