At lunch yesterday, I received a call that was a survey with regards to attitudes about smokeless pouches and vaping. Landi and I were at lunch with friends, so I stepped away from the table to take the survey. It was long and extensive, and I learned a lot about legislation and the positions various… Read more »
Both will race you to a fallen grape, but only one will let you get it back.Bacon is a different matter. Both are equally generous with their loveto dogs, to people, to lizards and to frogs.
