RE: Bad Times for Cats

Well that doesn't surprise me at all. I guess the fact of the game warden
allowing this in a town is what got me. What if a child ran across it, what

One of my drivers got caught up in a gunfire battle yesterday. He is fine,

all *#$% broke out and he was not even in a questionable neighborhood....
just two other cars battling it out... Egads!.
