Hell of a Way News Roundup: The Army's Navy
This week Francis discusses the Navy. But not the American Navy, the Army Navy. Also covered is the Thai Navy shooting itself (Because it's nice to know it's not just us) and the National Guard dicking around on their phones in the Subway stations.
Instead of a madia section, we're back to reading from anti war zines of the 1970s. I've been running through a lot of Sharpe books and while they are fun, they are also hardly conversational

DadChat: Making Drywall Exciting
It’s DadChat, and we’ve got a spirited discussion about dealing with old houses and their old house problems, solid vs. hollow walls, the hobbies we picked up from our own dads, and the strange situation where British banks let landlords take out interest-only mortgages that were, of course, adjustable-rate mortgages. You can imagine how that went. Hope you enjoy?
