RANDOM ROUND-UP

Random Round-Up will appear on Saturday's and will feature stories that you may have missed throughout the weekend. While I expect that there will be more than 15 links posted each week, the actual number could be higher or lower. Included in the Round-Up will be any interesting photos I might find in the previous 7 days.
