Nate: Just a reminder that I will be out on 5/16, as I work the polls. JT: Gee, I remember seeing Chris Rock saying that his number one job as a father was to keep his daughter off the poll. 😜 Nate: You, sir, are a very, very bad man...

That Was Fast!
I only filed my federal income tax a week ago, but I just checked my bank account and my refund is there!
Bye Bye Tim

There’s no hot plate … Continue reading JT’s Folly
