Thank you Liberty Rocks.
The links look interesting.

Thank you for the report.

Did you stop and think about the connection to the pumpkin bomb in Venezuela in post #4011?

It makes me think that this is going to be a dangerous week, with all the pumpkins that are floating around.

It has been many years since I read the Grapes of Wrath, you may want to read it or check it out, before giving it to a kid to read.

It was an ugly time in this country, but a real time too.
