Funny thing about polonium, it’s a very, er, energetic element. You don’t get it back. It likes to spread out like a pack of hungry dachsunds in a field of gopher holes. There are tales of a van doing a regular monthly delivery to one of the labs (livermore?).

He thought he had that get out of jail free card, but apparently it is out of date. More Trump cohorts going to jail! How many does that make now?

He would have insisted on getting a cut. Benton and Wead obviously didn’t want to split 75K three ways.

How to Get Away with Murder is a far more interesting show with more compelling, albeit despicable, characters.

Are those “Life is Good” T-shirts I saw everywhere a few years back part of that? I suppose so…eeek gads I saw a lot of Libs wearing those things.

Just like with regular aviation, the transition from “flying” to “not flying” is the critical part.
