Elder UC#1 Checks In Busy time for me, doing the sound and lights for the local dinner theatre East of 60. So named because Devon is on the East side of Highway 60.

UC#4-SU was reading today’s news of the death of O. J. Simpson. His bio contained his stint in Lovelock Correctional Center outside Reno, for kidnapping and stealing his own crappy memorabilia.
