Big Al,
 this one's in your honor. A small crew is in the Clem-350 stuck in Naples, Florida on the way to an all skate, no party (hopefully) weekend in Miami and random Florida towns along the way. Porpe almost died, Levi got many frames already, Ichabod has a bucket hat, Clements drives for hours, Derewenko's taking us places, and I shot photos of it all coming up whenever...

Did you see how the "news your dad reads" reported that we did free HIV testing here? Apparently that was pretty low key. I didn’t even know about it. Not that I really need it, but I went ahead and got the full blown testing done and it’s good peace of mind to know that
my ding-a-ling is clean. Go get tested kiddies. There’s plenty of nastiness you can get without even having sex.

When most people make mistakes, a select few see it. When the computer geek makes a mistake, the whole world sees it. On the tax free sale, a slight math error on my part resulted in a little more than 7% being deducted from all the stuff in the Shop. We're letting it slide and keeping the sale prices lower than they should be. Pretty much all clothing is on sale right now. It's a great time to get rid of your shemped out shirts and TAPped out pants.
