Re: Almost Gone ...
Get out as fast as you can, brother. There's probably another 66% state income tax increase right around the corner - they need to fund that "Escalades for Crack Whores" program.

I didn't see 'em; saw the son, and a whole slew of fellas who work the shop and aren't on the show. I have to take the NRA basic pistol course to get my CCW, so I might as well take the course there.
