I've kept posting these blog posts on other sites, such as "That Guy With the Glasses", and it causes me great joy whenever someone there comments that they will read something I've recommended, or that they have done so.

He would've made the writers of series like CSI look like bungling amateurs. I mean, just look at he was able to do at the beginning of the previous century? Forensic science was pretty much still in its cradle.TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.com
