It’s been a slower than normal week as far as things to spray about are concerned.  A few tidbits here and there that I could expound upon later this week like Dave Graham’s most recent .14d FA getting quickly repeated by a 16 year old or DG’s attempts on Realization (prediction is that he will […]
