DeLorean who was then the General Manager at Pontiac Motors. <br /><br />Here is a <a href="http://www.classicaldrives.com/50226711/early_birds_featured_in_pontiac_firebird_search.php" rel="nofollow">1969 Red Firebird</a> ragtop. gadflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219461694806089345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33342813.post-1227844660611121792013-08-05T16:29:54.681-04:002013-08-05T16:29:54.681-04:00Speaking of "Shooting," this story was p...Speaking of "Shooting," this story was posted today by the PowerGuys:<br /><br />"<a href="http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2013/08/how-bad-is-the-ammo-shortage-this-bad.php" rel="nofollow">HOW BAD IS THE AMMO SHORTAGE?

Hopefully both will turn out okay.<br /><br />I don't think you'll ever see FWPD have that kind of cooperation with outside agencies, because they WON'T admit the problem. Especially this administration, as they have a vested self interest in showing that welfare doesn't mean a decline in work ethic and neighborhood safety.<br /><br />Here's hoping your week doesn't stay off to a crappy start.CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33342813.post-49035542845533441272013-08-05T12:38:53.346-04:002013-08-05T12:38:53.346-04:00I'm with you on 60 Minutes.
