Errrrrmmmmm the sroke likely had little to do with the trip and more to
do with a weakened blood vessel.

Oh, I dunno. Other than potty breaks. The second person can saw logs
whilst the driver steers the thing.

There is a wrecker service in the expended family. If the tyres will air

I've done a drive-by on Bojangles. I'm with you on Popeyes (no apostrophe)
for any of my take-away chicken needs.

I did notice that the "Tuesday Special" has jumped a dollar from the old
U$1.19. Still a deal, though. They are also offering a blueberry and cream
cheese individual pie - similar to Mickey D's.
