Best lead evar

From this story:
The mother of a boy charged with animal cruelty after a cat was hanged from a tree in Cole Harbour says the community backlash against her son is worse than it was in Stewiacke, where the boy caused a train derailment two years ago.

Space is the place

So I upgraded my laptop hard drive to an 80 GB IBM-Hitachi drive the other month, which was just unreasonably expensive (looking now, I see that it’s not gotten any cheaper) and now it’s full again. The culprit: about 60 GB of MP3 and other audio files. So far as I know, they’re all legal [...]

Zoned

2 X 12″ Subway* Veggie Delight = unproductive afternoon.
Thank Bush for ‘FMU online streaming!
