Warning: This post contains multiple references to sexual assault cases. As news is coming out that Cornell University, which has had history of a prestigious clout as an Ivy League school, did little to nothing for seven of its frat students when they were accused with raping a student, it seems almost perfect time forContinue reading “Chris Hansen Wasn’t A Villian And The Cornell Rapists Aren’t Mere Boys”
Didn’t Realize It Was A Rideshare?
I found this walkingstick on my passenger side rear view. I guess it was still a little hot out for it to walk a long way. Thankfully for it, I’m a nice guy and didn’t charge it for the ride as gas prices are over $4 here.
Full Moon Rising
I got another nice photo of the full moon tonight as I was running a few errands in Tahlequah, Okla. It looks eerily creepy for Halloween season.
