Damn…I Forgot About the Wine & Dope
Good news is hard to come by of late. Between the disingenuous goings on in Michigan and my pessimistic state brought on by my investigation into the state of our economy, I find myself loitering in a pessimistic mood.
That's not to say there are not very happy things happening to me that keep me from stopping traffic altogether. There are. And you know who you are. But I came across an article that should make a certain demographic very excited:
