I just stroke my chin in an affected way. Except that I’m usually not aware that I’m doing … Read More
Sex Offender Map
Go here, type in your address, and get a map of the registered sex offenders in your neighborhood. While it is good to know that I am within a stone’s throw of a couple of perverts, I have misgivings about the sex offender registry in general. Mostly this: any chance there could be mistakes made?
