2020 sucked! (the suk started Nov 2019 actually)
But I also have had the exponential s**tshow of Spring 2020 stretch to Spring 2021. Feel your pain!
On another note maybe we can go have coffee when I move to Temple or Belton next year. ^_^
( I was originally planning to move end 2020...... meh) |

From what you are getting at is the Republicans are for democracy and whatever the main opposition party is, they prefer a form of communism? Or have I got the wrong take on wh... |
