Wow, are Republicans dicks and liars. [https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/senator-says-he-may-have-felt-unsafe-if-march-on-capitol-involved-blm-or-antifa/ar-BB1eyFg2?li=BBnb7Kz](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/senator-says-he-may-have-felt-unsafe-if-march-on-capitol-involved-blm-or-antifa/ar-BB1eyFg2?li=BBnb7Kz) He would have been concerned if it was BLM or Antifa. But not concerned at all about an insurrection where actual humans were killed. ---

No, AIUI “Hen3ry was financially independent, having inherited his father’s tar-and-feather business, and was therefore able to devote his full time to such intellectual pursuits as writing. I particularly remember a heart-warming novel of his about a young necrophiliac who finally achieved his boyhood ambition by becoming coroner.” (from “We Will All Go Together When We Go”) ---

Not that I often have reason to go to Enumclaw but I can’t even think of the place without remembering that case. It’s not a good thing for your town to be known for. ---

Well, they did have an actual Herfy’s until a couple years ago. FWIW. ---

If I want Herfy’s (they do have great shakes) I can go to Kent (that’s not far from me). I think the last time I went to Enumclaw was to drop something off at the dump (sorry, “transfer station”). 😁 ---
