Dining Outdoors (MM #4948)

Dead Mouse (MM #4942)
I had to take my car in for a repair yesterday. I wasn't sure what was causing the problem. When I turned my defroster on high, it sounded like a jet airplane taking off. I expected it to be the blow…

Get Gas (MM #4941)
There are some things we do that we give thought to them. These are simple things that you've done thousands upon thousands of times. But then, one day, something changed. I get gas at least once a w…
