Just outside of town, Wisconsin troopers and sheriff's deputies were busy citing people for doing 70 in a 65 today on the interstate.

So is the front seat of a Volkswagen. But that is another story

That's why I prefer SUVs.




What? Why's everybody looking at me like that?

I had a Triumph Spitfire once...

On Fridays, people get clueless.

Learned this recently: If taken within an hour of waking up, extra strength Five Hour Energy works really well initially. But as it wears off, I begin to have symptoms very similar to an anxiety attack.
