Remarkably Well Preserved

I don’t know whether to be amused or offended. I received in the mail today, a letter stating: Dear Ms. Michelle Klishis, Our records show that you haven’t yet registered for the benefits of AARP membership, even though you are fully eligible. Ummm….really?

Dreams

I had a dream of violence last night. It was in a place where people weren’t safe even in their own homes. Maybe it was the future; it certainly wasn’t the past.

S points out an article in the Gazette noting that WV has the highest concentration of strip clubs per population. “West Virginia has 53 strip clubs statewide, or 2.9 per 100,000 population.” (Portland comes in second. Did you know that Tom?) I think that the greater Morgantown area has four (or more?!) of those clubs–two of [...]
