Every Worry About Climbing Fire Lookout Towers?
When I was a kid, we went camping almost every weekend, and quite often we went hiking. One of the coolest things to hike to were fire lookout towers. Not only could you climb them, they had a great view, and sometimes the Ranger would be there and you could go up into the tower … Read more
More cold readers in court for fraud
Unexplained Mysteries => More cold readers in court for fraud Here’s an interesting column which suggests that legislation is needed to sort the real psychics out from the false ones. I’d love to work for that branch of thee government when it gets formed! Technorati Tags: Blog, Loonies
