Retro-Gaming Cake Brings Back Memories, Dysentery

    I read the Journals of Lewis and Clark. They reported abundant game, mainly peaceful and helpful natives, and not a single death on the expedition. Their guide was a teenage girl who brought along her baby. They not only went to Oregon, they came back too.

    I used to get so upset when my relatives died, I had to stop naming them after my REAL relatives.
