Jim Stafford co-wrote and recorded a really stupid song called “Spiders and Snakes” way back in the 20th century. I don’t like the song. But I agree with his lyrics. “I don’t like spiders and snakes.” Yeah, that’s a big ten four (that’s CB language for I totally agree) good buddy. I definitely do NOT like those species.

When the … Read the rest…
It’s Monday, as I write this. But today marks a sad day that happened 14 years ago. It was sad for those who had to say goodbye. But my guess is, it was a glorious day for one person.
