 I am going shopping early, this morning. Before the temperature drops below

I mailed my taxes February 26, and my federal notice of assessement came today. That's

47kmh is outside the range of anything I can handle, but then on ice... I am back home.

Made a nice breakfast with kiwi, and a buttered Egg-O. So it goes...
