There was a time – not so long go – that I knew as much about fashion as virtually anyone, if not more. Now I’m not saying age has anything to do with this, but here lately other things have just become more important. So I’m blitzing around the blogosphere, reading articles from a variety [...]

Last night, rumors circulated all around the Internet that two ranches in Laredo, Texas had been overrun by a Mexican cartel. It appears that many elements of the story may actually have been rumor, and many believe the entire incident was nothing more than a hoax.
