    If only time travel were possible. That way we could go back to 1993 and hopefully correct the mistakes involved in the tragedy-laden raid in Somalia. The media could be prevented from turning this incident into a tentpole for the government to get squeamish about sending our boys in to kick a little ass. Someone could even send The Terminator back to kill Michael Bay‚ Final Countdown-style‚ thus preventing the cinematic catastrophe that was Pearl Harbor from ever materializing. All good reasons

    I recently witnessed a Wiccan Mabon ritual on September 22nd 2012. This ritual was the celebration of the change from summer to fall. It took place in Colorado Springs‚ on the outskirts of town.
