December 25, 2012. Christmas. An annual Terra Firma holiday before the new year. But this was not for celebration, religious contemplation, and gifts under a green, twinkling tree in someone’s house.

Sarah Winchester, Secretary of … Continue reading What Do We Know – Containment Protocol and After
