And there you have it. That’s your Evening Reading for this fine July 30. We hope you had a great July and that you have an even better August. If you’d like to support what Shacknews is doing, then remember Mercury! For as little as a dollar a month, you can support the site and everything we do. Don’t have a dollar?
