The American press has been shocked by the large crowds drawn by “The Donald” throughout this campaign season. Similarly, YHC was shocked when 10 pax posted in the rain this morning at Score.

Today was the Woodshed’s monthly PT test.

Since the dawn of mankind, competition between humans has promoted an insatiable hunger to improve and show their dominance.
