It really is no surprise to see the entire region colored in deep red on the map, drab, dead brown being the only oth...

The Lady of the House reasoned if we set it up while the days were mild the probability was low that we'd get into one of those terse "discussions" that tend to happen whilst doing chores in the hot, hot sun. While we were outside a car pulled over. Inside were a man and a woman. "Is that the same pool y'all had last year?" asked the man. "My wife says it is and I say it isn't." "Funny you should...
