First Posted 02-Aug-2015 That guy, James Rustler? He’s had a few aliases. I think that’s the one he uses these days. There was another one from a few years back when he came home broke after flying to Thailand to meet a girl who promised him a happy ending. TheyContinue Reading

First Posted 06-Aug-2015 “Rolling down the road trying to loosen my load, I’ve got seven women on my mind. Four that want to own me, two that want to stone me, one says she’s a friend of mine . . .”   I’ve been driving rural roads in upstate NewContinue Reading
