We live just off of Rt 150 in Morton (Meadows for you EP folks/Jackson for you Mortonites).  Traffic is always an issue on this road.  It’s two lanes going through very residential areas.  It is not uncommon to have some one hurry to pull out in front of you, just to go 15-20mph under the [...]

Boyfriend’s alternator went out in his car, so this week we have been sharing rides to work.
This afternoon I get a text message that says, “Fat Team ready for extraction.  On your mark, Sexy Team.  Over.”
