Today being “National Hoody Day” we thought we’d stray outside the boundaries of begging for trout stream protection (from an unfeeling and uncaring mob), to throwing our massive weight behind larger social issues … … and you’re right, they do look pretty sinister.

Casualties are streaming in from the countryside while the Connecticut Department [...]

I’ve seen it many times.
