Apparently the authorities are making progress in the sniper case. At the very least, there have been no new shootings, which is reason enough to be thankful. The Hillbilly Sophisticate has been doing a great job with the sniper links. Just start at the top and scroll down. *** UPDATE *** I heard the Chief …
