You’d better just stick in a toe and be done with it. The weather is going to be terrible!

As I said in my comments, I’ll double my donation if you stay down

I say everyone volunteers to double their donations if someone gets a picture of Rich fully in the water

So we all agree that “Corvax Louis is trying to kill you” is the early favorite for Best Commenter, right?

King Louis and soccer mom, great folks!

I haven’t been reading this as much lately because there hasn’t been the federal race interest but did I miss that you took your talents to crains?

Not to be snarky but shouldn’t Frerichs have donated $250?
