Veteran Suicide Data Report
The VA published this year’s suicide data for veterans. According to their raw numbers, there were 16.6 veterans a day who committed suicide. If we deduct veterans suffering in pain from some terminal illness who decided not to end their life in a puddle of their own piss…that number gets dramatically reduced. Feel free to read the study […]
Thursdays Are For Cooking….
Yes, that is the Honorable Morel. Almost looks like a duckbilled dinosaur. The head was about 6 inches long, sticking up out of the forest floor.
