Why haven't we spoken in 26 years- was I a total bitch to him and I've blocked it out? August 15, 2012 at 12:10 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). And an a...

The A train subway station at that same point that i reluctantly entered around 11am the morning of just to try to get home to lori in brooklyn. who were those heroes driving the trains and buses trying to get us home to our families instead of getting themselves home to theirs?

We have an armory here (did they used to pass out guns to minute men in such a place? I get really worried t...
