If I knew then what I know now, I would pick my own cotton.

If Benjamin Franklin had only invented polyester instead of flying that damn kite.

You’re right. Splash damage could get a little out of hand. OTOH, you’d send an unmistakable message.

Sixty days ago, I began taking at least one gun with me everywhere I go.

That's a good idea, blam.

I first started carrying everywhere over 30 years ago, after two feral humans tried to kill a young couple by throwing them into the Niagara River, just above the Falls. I decided then that I would never allow something like that to happen to me and my wife. My Model 60 became my constant companion. Things changed, and I got out of the habit of always carrying. It is time to return to my old ways.

It was actually Mayor Goode who ordered the bomb dropped in 1985. He was the city’s first black mayor.

Predictably the Phila Inquirer and Phila Daily News found someway to blame everyone else who was white including Rizzo.

Raze the city and start from scratch!

Spent a few days there a decade ago for a conference.

I did not feel encouraged to ever return.

"That's a good idea, blam. "

Thanks. Nice to hear from you neighbor.

No it was Wilson Goode, 1984 or so — and it was military grade C4 from the PA State Police.

You mean Wilson Goode in the ‘80s ?
