This evening's Rescue Rangers are YatPundit, vcmvo2, jlms qkw, mem from somerville, Louisiana 1976, and dadanation, with watercarrier4diogenes at the wheel of the Editmobile, frantically chasing a vintage Perley A. Thomas streetcar, hoping to get its operator, YatPundit, back aboard before any of the passengers get wise.
The rescued diaries tonight are truly the gems for which we search every night. The Rangers are secondary to what they present to you, some of the best writing available on Teh Great Orange Satan, if some of the less noticed initially. Read these, rec and comment in them, let the diarists know that you appreciate their efforts and their viewpoints (even if you don't happen to completely agree with them).
