    Does anyone know Silver's address?
    I'd like to walk by his place and exercise my middle finger.

    Silver's been dirty and done dirty things for a looong time. I predict he'll get less than a slap on the wrist because he knows where lots of bodies are buried and could name a lot of names.....
