Jan 25, 2018
Hang onto your muffs! Or at least hide it on your leg so Cordelia Loomis can't get to it. Strange Country Episode 25 is all about the Loomis Gang, a family of horse thieves who stole horses and a bunch of other stuff in the mid-1800s near Cazenovia NY. Hey isn't that where Cazenovia Bagels is?
