Hell finally froze over. Waterville and Winslow are skating together.

Watching surfing again today (MEO Pro Portugal). I'm wondering if the women compete first because the better waves come later.

I want to thank the shark that tried to eat Mick Fanning for introducing me to the world of pro surfing. Currently streaming MEO Pro Portugal.

Brick and mortar business owners: how do you decide what type of music (if any) to play at your establishment?
Is anyone out there familiar with geriatric psychology aka geropsychology?

A surprising number of facebook friends responded YES! to this. I'm glad for them. Now I'm off to find myself a second job...
I live in the least-vaccinated county in the state (about 59%). My town is at 67%. The second number surprises me - I expected it would be lower.
