Eleven o’clock on a Saturday night in the middle of nowhere. Cops aren’t likely to solve that one without help.

Know it all Tim Scott has spoken once again.
Tim Scott says
John! You’re back! With as little to say for yourself as ever. Do you have an opinion on ANYTHING other than me?
Alexis says
I know, John. Tim spent half the morning attacking me, having nothing else to do but issue his usual personal attacks, and name calling. He was mad because I horned in on his comment. I even apologized which only brought on more venom from him.
Tim Scott says
LOL…if you think typing a half dozen sentences takes me “half the morning” Alexis, think again.
Meanwhile, your insincere apologies merit being shoved right back down your throat, so if you don’t like that stop pretending about what you are up to.
