New Shoes at a Discount!
Tuesday, January 13
Freezing drizzle, wind, snow flurries, clouds, and cold - those are a good description of our weather today. In fact, it was an absolutely miserable and gloomy day here in Ohio today. I had intended to do some work on rentals, but after hearing the cold wind howl and seeing the gloomy weather, I ...
Arsonist in Jail!
