Skipped yesterday as we made a run to the city and went early. The main reason was to meet a guy at a repair shop to fix the boy’s Nintendo Switch, but it turned out that he ended up...
Tomorrow is Independence Day, and it is a milestone year. 250 years have passed since the founding of our nation, and that should be reason to celebrate, so why does it feel so “meh?” I was very young, but...
