They didn't get him for drunk driving. So he knew exactly what he was doing. Was it his pet racoon? Or was he just giving the 'coon a ride?

That staged picture of her is humorous. It's taken in a library (see the labels on the bases of all of the books.)

Thank you for sharing. So many of us have known the pain that Cancer gives to patients and their families and friends.
You must know how many of us wish you the best possible outcomes and I hope that there are some good things along with whatever fate deals you.

So the next time you are looking for a series, watch all the Tremors.
