This is due in part because of the massive influx of people Including illegal aliens. However, close to 50% of the increase will be due to the ravenous electrical needs of all the data centers and cloud storage facilities currently being built in Texas. 2 1 1 Quote

I don't know where they came up with that 12 cents.  So if a cartridge was the same price as a shot, one cartridge was a dime, and a box of 50 was $5. Cowboys wages was pretty much 30 a month and found. So a box of cartridges was 5 days pay? A Colt Single Action Army cost $17, and a box of cartridges cost $5???  No wonder none of them could hit diddly. 2 3 Quote

A close-up not only of bent rails, but of an unusual phenomenon -- the rail is continuous underneath the tunnel wall, indicating that the wall lifted up enough for the rail to slide underneath.
