It's thundering and raining. I got a dog under my desk. Aria doesn't care for storms. Got a belly laugh from this: OH no. It really is true. Just days after calling in the administrators, Body Shop has started to shut its branches across the country. So where am I going to get my satsuma … Continue reading Random Thoughts

So What?
Every so often when I'm working I'll tune into talk radio. I was listening to Sebastian Gorka the other day as he was taking calls. There's always a moonbat or two that make things interesting.
