 7-1-2009 - If you missed the KFDX - CH 3 interview with 11-year-old Judo champ Devin Sobay, you can catch it at their website at TexomasHomePage.com 7-1-2009 - I saw an article reporting that a New Jersey man's driver license has been suspended 78 times in the past 22 years and he has just pleaded guilty to his 15th drunk driving charge. Well, all I can say to the people of New Jersey is that if your laws are so messed up that you can't keep this man off the streets, then you deserve any and all damage and terror he can unleash upon you. The law belongs to you, not the police, not the prosecutors and not the courts. If your current laws aren't doing the trick, change them! MH 7-1-2009 - Why does Sheppard Air Force Base have a mini-water park? Doesn't Wichita Falls have a water park? Isn't Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls? Why does the military spend so much of our tax dollars isolating itself from the local community? More 6-30-2009 - US warns citizens to avoid travel to Honduras - duh! 6-30-2009 - It's a sad state of affairs when we, as humans, have demonstrated that we have such empty lives that we have made a television show so popular that its producers are willing to pay Simon Cowell $144 Million a year to stay on American Idol! People living in Wichita Falls are not without guilt in this matter. There are at least 144 things in our fair city that are a million times more exciting than watching American Idol. I would list them, but I am unfortunately running out of time. MH 6-29-2009 - In a story out of Colorado, a 12-year old boy was killed after being thrown from the bull he was riding in a rodeo. The story says he was stomped on by the bull, and there was no time for the rodeo clowns to save him. The article says "age-appropriate" animals are used in youth rodeos. What's an age-appropriate bull? There was a serious miscalculation here, somewhere. I wonder if these kid's parents were shown videos of trampled cowboys before the event? This child's parents should have told him that if you're going to try to make a fool out of an animal, be ready to have the tables turned on you. Your full-length comments are welcome. MH 6-28-2009 - I wonder what local car dealers would think if they received thousands of bills for advertising from thousands of people in the Wichita Falls area? What I'm talking about is the little dealer name tags that adorn the rear end of most cars in town, and, for that fact, all over the country. My car sports one for Herb Easley Motors. Bet I'm not alone! I'll bet you'll find a plastic tag or metallic sticker, touting the name of the dealer from which it was purchased, on the back of most cars around town. I've been driving mine for 11 years now. That's 11 years of promoting Herb Easley Motors for free! I'll bet most people never, ever gave a second thought to those little stickers and emblems on the back of the cars that they paid for! I wonder what all of that advertising is worth? I don't know for sure, but here's an idea. Make out a bill for whatever you think it's worth and send it to your car dealer! But, don't hold your breath for any payment. In the future, however, you might think about asking the car dealer to remove all advertising before you take possession of the vehicle. MH 6-25-2009 - I heard a radio news report yesterday that the City of Iowa Park was considering giving the McDonald's folks some type of financial incentive to place one of their restaurants somewhere on the expressway. My first thought is that McDonalds has a few more dollars than the City of Iowa Park and should be paying Iowa Park for the privilege of opening up shop in town. My second thought is why would Iowa Park want a McDonald's to begin with? Don't people opt to live in a small town so that they can avoid the headaches of larger towns? Why choose to be a small town and then try to look like a large town? And my third thought was, yes, you guessed it, can't someone in Iowa Park figure out how to make hamburgers and fries? The radio report said that local businesses were upset at the idea of this financial "carrot" being waved in front of the McD noses. Wichita Falls is already a "cookie cutter" town having no real identity of its own. Don't fall into the same trap, Iowa Park. Be somebody! Support your locally-owned restaurants and businesses! MH North Korea's Joke for 6-24-2009: "If the U.S. imperialists start another war, the army and people of Korea will ... wipe out the aggressors on the globe once and for all," the official Korean Central News Agency said. 6-24-2009 - LIST - Things To Do In Wichita Falls That Are Better Than Watching Jon and Kate Plus 8 (or any other reality TV show) - Go the area of 9th and Travis and count the number of cops who go to the Burrito Shop. More 6-23-2009 - From BLS.gov - In May, employers took 2,933 mass layoff actions involving 312,880 workers. Mass layoff events and initial claims rose to their highest levels on record. Over the year, manufacturing layoff events and initial claims more than doubled. Thirty states reached program highs for May average weekly initial claims. 6-23-2009 - MySpace slashes two-thirds of its workforce! Well, all I can say is that it's a very good start! Now, let's see if we can work on the other one-third! MH More 6-23-2009 - The Rise and Rise of Devin Sobay. Devin, Wichita Falls' very own 11-year old Judo champion, brings home another Gold Medal. This latest win was Saturday in San Diego at the USJA National Junior Judo tournament. As mentioned before on this site, Devin is headed for the Olympic Games and he needs your support. Visit his website at DevinSobay.com 6-22-2009 - The Wichita Amateur Radio Society conducted its weekly practice net tonight at 8PM on the 147.140 Mhz repeater. The net is conducted weekly to ensure that all operators and equipment are ready for weather and other emergencies as well as community service events. All licensed Amateur Radio operators are invited to check in. Folks in "scanner land" are also welcome! More MH 6-22-2009 - As if MyTwitFace wasn't enough, now you can sign up for Loopt and share your location with all your friends and family. Hmmmm. You sign up, register your cell phone, and it will show your location (your phone's location) on a map for your friends and family to see. I guess there are a few uses for it. You might want to know where your kid is. Let's see, well, I can't think of any more uses. A social networking gizmo is invented and people just line up like they can't get enough! Why can't I come up with one of these money-making ideas? MH 6-22-2009 - Back in 2000 I had the opportunity to join Howmet Casting as a production supervisor. They were looking for supervisors outside of their company and specialty to bring a different perspective to things . I didn't know "squat" about production, but I did have a lot of years of supervisory experience. They were willing to train and I was willing to learn. Well, it wasn't fun for either of us. I don't think many, if any, of the "supervisor off the street" new hires worked out very well. And, as you can imagine, we weren't very well accepted by the current employees, especially the "team leaders" from whom we stole those supervisory slots. In my humble opinion, this was a flawed program. I found numerous people already in place that were more than qualified to be supervisors. I can't imagine thanking my subordinates for a job-well-done by going outside the organization for supervisors. But, it's a private company and they can run it however they see fit. And, other than that flaw, it was a fine company. Instead of taking that supervisor job, I should have just taken a job on a line somewhere and I'd probably still be there. MH 6-22-2009 - I know it's a little late on this info, being "summertime" and all, but here it is anyway. Get out your radio scanner and plug in 155.295MHz. That's the local school bus frequency. "Very interesting" is all I'll say! MH 6-22-2009 - Not a major event, but sometime over the weekend, a driver left the roadway and ran over a speed limit sign on the Northwest Freeway service road. When I saw the poor sign, I immediately felt "at one" with it. There have been many days that I felt exactly as this sign must be feeling. MH More 6-21-2009 - The City of Wichita Falls now has a Facebook page. The City already has a website. Since the beginning of the World Wide Web, methods of getting traffic to websites, and imparting information to the visitors to those websites, have been continuously improving. What does the Facebook site have that the regular City site doesn't? This seems like a duplication of efforts to me, or at least a distraction. Time spent on the Facebook site could be better spent in maintaining and/or improving the original City website. Running with the pack isn't going to make us a better city! There's already too much of that going on. MH 6-20-2009 - Pull A Permit? Where did this phrase originate? If you're going to build anything from a storage house to an outhouse, they say you have to "pull a permit". Now, I've heard the term "pull a pint", as in a pint of beer at a pub. But permits? Does the head permit clerk hold onto them so tightly that you have to pull it from his or her hands? Do they open a drawer and let you pull the permit out? We're not alone in this curious phrase. A Google search shoes that people are pulling permits from Plano to Pittsburgh. From what I can gather, the term "pull" is used in place of "request". It just sounds silly to me. Why don't they just say "request". I'm guessing that the term was probably originated by the same people that say "ideal" when they really mean "idea". MH 6-20-2009 - Regarding the recent story of the cop who pulled his gun at a McDonald's drive thru window (didn't happen in WF, unfortunately) because his order was taking too long - I have an idea. (I seem to have a lot of those lately). You've seen those warning signs along construction zones on the highway advising drivers that "fines will double when workers are present", or something like that. I think that when police officers are convicted of a crime, their fines and/or sentences should be doubled. After all, they knew what the law was! Of course, this would apply to all but the death penalty. Kind of hard to kill someone twice. MH 6-19-2009 - Devin Sobay, a local 11-year old up and coming Judo champion, is on the way to San Diego today to compete in the USJA National Junior Judo tournament. Stay tuned for the results! Devin is currently ranked #1 in the U.S.A. in his age and weight class. His goal is to compete in the Olympics. To qualify, Devin must compete in as many national, and international, tournaments as possible. You can help by making a donation of any amount. You can learn more about Devin at his website at DevinSobay.com Snow Cone Vendors - Do you have an outside container for your water? Is that container properly covered at all times? Does the cover have a lock on it? How do you know people aren't passing by in the night and contaminating the water by (insert method here)? I wonder where the local health department stands on this matter? I'm guessing there's probably no violation, with the snow cone vendor merely being required to use clean water, with no complicated procedures to ensure that the water is actually clean. MH LIST - Things I Learned While Substitute Teaching in Wichita Falls, Texas: I never had a good day at Kate Burgess School. I never had a bad day at Bonham School. More Every now and then the Attebury grain elevator (Kell & Burnett) "eyesore" topic comes up. I have an idea how to solve this problem. The City can post signs on the building saying something like "Graffiti Practice Area". Then, each time the taggers load it up with their best work, the City can request the owners to clean it up, have a City crew clean it up, or pay a fine. Either way, the City will end up cleaning up the graffiti. They can then add the fine to the Attebury "account". Then, another "Graffiti Practice Area" campaign. After a few years, the building will have amassed enough fines so that the Attebury people will just have to sign it over to the City. Once that happens, the City can call in one of those demolition companies that you see on TV, and they can come in and put on a "dynamite" show for all to see! MH The City was kind enough to extend its bus route into and through the City View/Sunset Terrace area. They placed three stops along Covington. The problem is that there's no place at these stops to actually wait for the bus. You either have to stand in the street or stand in the grass by the bus stop sign. The problem with the street is obvious. Streets are for vehicles. One could get run over standing in the street. The problem with the grass is the "no-see-ums" that will be crawling up your legs in no time and causing you to dance a jig for all to see. MH Sheppard Air Force Base has been here for more than half a century, yet the collective business district just outside the main gate of the base looks like they couldn't care less! The half-mile of Sheppard Access Road, leading up to the main gate, as well as Burkburnett Road for the full distance that it runs by the base, north and south of the main gate, looks like it's recovering from the Great Depression, or a nuclear holocaust. I'm really surprised that the various base commanders over the years have not said something publicly about this travesty. There's no doubt in my mind that they've done so privately. MH We Need A New Bus Station! Many more out-of-towners see the bus station than see the airport. Many bus riders pass though Wichita Falls on the way to other places. People landing at the airport have usually reached their destination. More Dear City of Wichita Falls - You say you're thinking of buying the former Hawk Ridge Golf Course, so here's an alternative idea to consider. How about a magnificent structure similar to the Azadi (Freedom) Tower in Tehran, Iran? More I have, over the years, heard rumors of a drive-in theater that was once in operation on Old Iowa Park Road in Wichita Falls. Just a few days ago, I happened to be looking North in the area of Jerry and Talley streets - More Every day, not every other day, or once a week, but every day I see this inconsiderate parking maneuver performed in a Wichita Falls parking lot. A driver enters a parking space, then continues through that space, parking "backwards" in the opposite space. More A tourism expert has, according to an article in the June 12 Times Record News, told Wichita Falls city leaders that we, as a city, offer outsiders little reason to visit. He also said that, as an outsider, he finds a lack of information about the city and he also said the streets were hard to navigate. He went on to say that the city is not doing enough to court MSU students, who, in his words, are actually long-term tourists. Other comments were "newer parts of town not kept up" and "horrible street and highway signage". He said we need a "vision". But wait, didn't he know that we have a Cheddars, McDonalds, and a Burger King? MH 
6-12-2009 - BNSF Passenger Cars Roll Into Town
Employees: Don't take up the "choice" parking places in front of your business. Those spaces are for your customers and clients! Don't be a Doo Doo Head! No Driver Left Behind. You've heard of "No Student Left Behind", now a local Soap Box Derby, sponsored by the YMCA, has pretty much eliminated any competition in its races. Looking at the new batch of cars, you will see that, except for the paint job, they are identical in size, shape and weight. A picture on the wall at the downtown YMCA gives a "Then" and "Now" view of the event. The "Then" photo shows three distinctly different cars, each with a unique shape and appearance created by the driver and his team. The "Now" photo shows the identical "new age" fiberglass cars. So, where is the competition? What is the lesson here, or was there ever a lesson intended to be learned? What's wrong with the idea of the best design team and driver winning the big prize? Here's a radar screen shot of the storms creeping into the Falls on 6-10-2009 at about 4PM. MEN: If you've got a pot-belly, and bird-legs, PLEASE don't wear shorts outside of the house! PLEASE stay away from the mall. Personally, I don't think any grown man should wear shorts outside of a few, select, sporting activities. If you insist on having a pot-belly, try to carry it in as fine a fashion as possible. Short pants is not the solution. Remember, you are a representative of the male species. If I have to, I'll get my camera and head to the mall to prove my point. Don't make me do it cuz I'm looking for a "poster boy" and it won't be pretty! MH Employers spent an average of $29.39 per hour worked for civilian compensation in March 2009. Wages and salaries averaged $20.49, and benefits averaged $8.90. Health insurance was the largest individual benefit cost at $2.37 per hour, which accounted for 8.1 percent of total compensation costs. More You may have seen one in a movie or news item. They are basically vertical wind tunnels that allow you to fly a few feet above the platform, suspended on a high-speed cushion of air. More Frequently traveling up and down Iowa Park Rd., I am continually treated to the fine artwork of unknown persons who like to decorate railroad cars. Here's a few photos from 6-9-2009. Seatbelt laws are nothing less than proof that (1) the state considers its citizens mere property, and (2) the people, not realizing or caring that the laws belong to them and not the state, allow themselves to be treated as property. More On the last business day of April, job openings in the U.S. numbered 2.5 million, the lowest level since the series began in December 2000. The hires rate (3.1 percent) was unchanged in April and remained low, while the total separations rate (3.6 percent) was little changed. More Store Paging - Stop It! - As a customer, I have absolutely no interest in hearing continuous instructions to employees pounding away at my eardrums while I'm trying to shop. At one store it was "Pierre and Percy (not their real names) report to the training room...Pierre and Percy report to the training room". How embarrassing for Pierre and Percy! More The Former Hawk Ridge Golf Course Would Make A Good (insert activity here) - Not too long ago a reporter from a local TV station was canvassing the residential area on the backside of the former Hawk Ridge Golf Course More Here's A Business Start-Up Idea - Food & Child Care for the Allred Unit. The Allred Unit (our local prison) employs about 950 people. This is a population larger than some small Texas towns. There are two needs among this group that come to mind. More When It Comes To Eateries, Wichita Falls Is A "Cookie Cutter" Town. By my use of the term "cookie cutter", I mean that local businesses are dominated by national chains. There is no strong sense of local identity to be found here when it comes to eateries. There are some great locally-owned eateries, but there are too few of them. More If My Parachute Doesn't Open, Can I Get A Refund? The year was 1988. The wife and I were strolling through the indoor exhibits at the Wichita County Fair. At one of the booths was American Parachuting, Inc., owned and operated by Ross & Sharon Wroblewski. More A Different Tandem Bike Rental Business - I have often thought about buying a tandem bike for neighborhood cruising, but they're not exactly cheap. If I bought one, how often would I ride it? Should I risk the expense of a purchase just to see if I'll like it? If I don't like it, will it be easy to sell the thing? For me, the best solution to this problem would be to rent the bike for a week or so. More The Legend of Holly Breed - Many inmates are educated and very smart. Some are brilliant. Many are neither. As an offender grievance investigator I was exposed to a whole new vocabulary. Allred inmates wrote grievances to the tune of about 1,000 a month. Many inmates have never seen the words they are trying to write, and are forced to sort of "sound them out" on paper. More What Part of NO Do You Not Understand? - I caught him just as he entered and advised him that he needed to leave the building. He said "No". I repeated the request and he repeated the "no". I took a step toward him and he took a step toward the door. I took another step and so did he. More The Mushroom Cloud At The Lake - The sound was deafening. I staggered back in shock, or from the shockwave. Firewood and fire went skyward. We turned to run but we could not escape the blast radius. More Real Men Use Reel Mowers in Wichita Falls! - How many of you out there use a reel mower? I haven't used one since I was a kid, but lately I've been thinking about getting one. I've already given up my self-propelled mower for a manual push type, all in the name of physical fitness. I live on a corner lot so I do get a good workout. More Pay-To-Play Online Newspapers - Not For Me! - I'm not saying that newspapers should not charge to subscribe to their online versions. What I will say is that, with the current plentiful availability of news around the web, I won't be subscribing to many of them anytime soon. More The Wichita Amateur Radio Society holds a practice net each week on the club's repeater. Any licensed Amateur Radio operator can check in. Scanner listeners are also invited! More It's Time To Declare Your Information and Communications Independence! - If you're like most people, your knowledge of what's going on in your city on a daily basis is totally dependent on what the media and government agencies want you to know. This is why you need a radio scanner! More Wichita Falls Movie Theaters, Knock Off The Commercials! - If you're going to make me pay to see a movie, don't make me sit there and watch commercials before the start of said movie! More Former Hirschi Student & Star of The Young & The Restless: Where Did He Go? - Me and John used to walk to Hirschi High School together on some mornings. Then, one day he was gone. The word was that he had become tired and discouraged at school and joined the job corps. The next thing I know, he's appearing in movies like 48 Hours and starring on The Young & The Restless! More No Really, It's Ten Inches! - So, what's wrong with this picture? This burrito was purchased locally. I probably buy one a month at the same location. They are always this size and they always say 10 inches. More Uglier-N-Hell Eyesore Greets Hotter-N-Hell Riders - I drive by the old Imperial 400 Motel on Scott St. every few days. It has become quite an eyesore over the last few years. I don't know if its future is renovation or demolition. I'm concerned that this eyesore, among other area eyesores, are given close-up exposure to the thousands of Hotter-N-Hell riders each year. More I Don't Do Weather Watches Because I'm A Chicken! - I can stand in the door of an airplane at 12,000 feet and leap without fear, but a tornado is something I'll never knowingly get near again. More Squiggly Copies From Hell - Is Your Company Afflicted? - If you work for an organization that uses a high volume of many different forms on a daily basis, I bet you have experienced this problem at some time or another. More The Hat Squad Patrols Sikes Senter Mall In Fine Fashion! - I want to take this opportunity to send kudos to the Sikes Senter Mall Security Officers. The first thing that caught my attention to this team was the hats! More Inflation Hits The Downtown YMCA! - I was shocked to learn that my solitary quarter in the Banana Fund coffee can was no longer going to do the trick. More Will An In-N-Out Burger Franchise Put Us On The Map? - It looks like at least one person in Wichita Falls wants an In-N-Out Burger franchise to come to town! In a "Letter to the Editor" in a recent issue of the Times Record News, a gentleman proposes that the city give away everyone's first born child, and the kitchen sink, in incentives just to get one here. More Do We Need A Huddle House Restaurant? Of Course Not! - A place where families can "huddle up" after the game. How cute. A recent newspaper report says Wichita Falls may be getting one. A corporate spokesperson said Huddle House served 1,341,000 hamburgers, 26,372,023 slices of bacon and 125 million cups of coffee last year. More Space Alien Almost Destroys Downtown Wichita Falls, Texas! - The next time you're in downtown Wichita Falls, Texas get out your binoculars and check out the bullet dents and holes in the flagpole ball on top of the venerable First National Building at 8th & Indiana. Retired cops will tell you that fellow officers used the ball for target practice during boring night shifts back in the "old" days. Shots were indeed fired, but it was hardly target practice on that terrible night! More Inproper Parallel Parking At The Downtown Post Office In Wichita Falls Photo All Wound Up And No Place To Go - Now this will really solve any energy crisis that happens to come along. Don't let Obama in on it, he'll probably want to tax it. More Bubba, I Think That's A Great Ideal! - Why do I hear so many Wichitans saying "That's a good ideal", or "That's a great ideal"? I'm not an English major, and I keep my grammar-checker turned off, but something's wrong here. I don't see any real resemblance of one term to the other. More No Pain, No Gain, But I Didn't Need The Big Name! - Not too long ago me and the wife went to a local big-name fitness center just to look around. I wanted to see if they had anything there that I could not live without. My first disappointment was that I had to jot down my life history on some form before a representative would even show us around. More I'm Going To Report You For Throwing Bombs! - I don't recall the exact moment in my U.S. Army career that I discovered the joys of backfiring, but once I did, I was hooked. More GPS and The "Dumming Down" Of The Map Reader - GPS navigation commercials on TV are pretty common these days. If you know your "left" from your "right", you can now find your way anywhere with the aid of a GPS receiver. Cute, I suppose. I doubt, however, that I will ever own one. At least not as long as road maps continue to be published. More Wichita Falls Needs More Go Kart Tracks! - It's been a few years since there were any dedicated go kart tracks to be found in Wichita Falls. I don't know what the past and current situation is in the Lawton area. When I say "dedicated" I mean just go karts, no other forms of entertainment mixed in as in The Plex. More Wichita Falls Needs More Motorcycle Rental Businesses! - Back in the mid-1960s there was a gas station on Burk Rd. in Wichita Falls, just north of the SAFB main gate, that rented small motorcycles. The owner had six or eight motorcycles lined up near the roadway with a "Motorcycles For Rent" sign clearly visible. Needless to say, this spot was very popular with airmen! More I dropped Twitter after less than a week. I signed on with the thought that it could bring more traffic to this site. I still think it would, but Twitter isn't for me. I just hate running with the crowd. Same for MySpace a few years ago. And why do the pages of both services scroll like you're dragging them through molasses? MH BTW, where is "Eye-Oh-Way" Park, Texas? From BLS.gov: Nonfarm payroll employment fell by 345,000 in May, about half the average monthly decline for the prior 6 months. The unemployment rate continued to rise, increasing from 8.9 to 9.4 percent. Steep job losses continued in manufacturing, while declines moderated in construction and several service-providing industries. Details According to a report in our local newspaper, Oncor is taking a little heat for their aggressive tree-trimming efforts. Oncor is trimming tree branches away from power lines in order to minimize damage to the lines during storm conditions. I'm all for it, having experienced a night without power due to a neighbor's overgrown tree branches swaying in the wind and taking out a power line. The fact that it was one of the hottest nights of the year, and I had no air conditioning, didn't help my mood. So, Oncor, trim away! MH Dear Atmos Energy, If you want me to write my account number on my check, how about giving me an account number that I can actually squeeze onto the check! Your account numbers are 19 digits long! Here's a zero-filled example: 00-000000000-0000000-0. Allow me to let you in on a little secret - you don't have that many customers! MH Food For The Needy In Wichita Falls - Here's an idea that may provide a lot of food for the hungry folks around the area. I have served three tours of duty as a Substitute Teacher for the WFISD. One of the things that shocked me the most was the sheer tonnage of food thrown away by kids in the cafeteria. I'm talking about selections on their trays that they never touched! They never intended to eat that veggie item, or even that slice of pizza! You name the food item on the menu, and I've seen it hit the trash cans untouched. Folks, you would have to stand near the trash cans at these schools to see and believe what I'm talking about. MH I remember a few years back when then-Mayor Leuck was paying an honor of some sort to the local Maskat Shrine folks, and referred to them as the Muskrat Shrine. Well, I wonder if he got a job at the Keller Citizen newspaper in Keller, Texas? There's an online article announcing that Keller schools will be participating in the 72nd Annual Muskrat Shrine Oil Bowl football game on June 13 in Wichita Falls. MH See the article Now it looks like the city is un-seriously looking at Hawk Ridge as a city park. Apparently it has been decided to spend money on a project connected to Lucy Park. I still can't figure out how the city can afford to water its golf course and Hawk Ridge could not. MH It looks like the city is seriously looking at the possibility of converting the former Hawk Ridge golf course into a city park. While I prefer it remain a golf course, I'll take the park idea anytime. More Unemployment rates were higher in April than a year earlier in all 372 metropolitan areas. Of the 310 metropolitan areas for which nonfarm payroll employment data were available, 291 areas reported over-the-year declines in employment, while 17 reported increases. Two metropolitan areas had no change. Details Cell Phone Elbow - If anybody's going to get this condition, it's that guy that walks the mall and Walmart with a cellphone stuck to his ear! If you've been to the mall, or the northside Walmart, you know who I'm talking about. He's famous! Saw this funny "Tweet" referring to Wichita Falls "- - - there's an Arby's like from the early 1800's! No drive thru! Old style from forever ago! BRUTAL!!!" MH |
