Nice time of year for a camping trip to the Sonoran desert.
I recommend buying a large slab of bacon... buddying up to these folks, and giving their tents, cars, and equipment the bacon fat treatment when their off taking a leak. That oughta attract enough critters of the night to cause a ruckus... not to mention the indiscriminate and panicked use of most of their ammunition. <;'>
FWIW, The Washington Times is a "moonie" front. KCIA.
