Browne Out

It's hot, but I'm going out to more concerts.

Vandals!

I committed a federal offense this week by defacing a mailbox.
In fact, I did it twice.
I also defaced signage for the US Parks Department.
But it was all to cover up "F Biden" and COVID conspiracy theory nonsense.

I know I've talked about it before, but not since he started his newest contract in January 2021.
Farewell, Riverdale

I made three trips to Riverdale (Bronx, NY) to pick up books from the same apartment.
Here's my epic tale of charity and frustration.
