Well Thanksgiving is just around the corner.You know what that means, turkey dinner with loved ones and friends, and yes " BlacK Friday ". That crazy day after the big bird feast when folk start their holiday shopping. Will people behave the same why in a major emergency or worse..? Here on...

Dunkopf....the local taxes are the killer for me, school & town taxes, not so much the fed. tax...We have 2-3 families living in a single family homes which is illegal here, yet the laws are not enforced.Those households, some with lots of children aren't paying their fair share.So the rest of...
