Why Buy Tins?
I buy tins exclusively because they sing to me in the dawn hours just after my daily breakfast of a Belgian Waffle and a glass of Bourbon.

For this reason I often play...- stevecourtright

Barber Shops.
I love my barber. He's 80 years old and been in the same space for 57 years! He's from West Virginia and is a great story teller. Pretty sure he is still working just to get away from his wife for some time each day. Ralph charges me $18 and also gives a mean shoulder and neck massage after...- stevecourtright

Insurance Question, Water and Sewage Lines
Sounds like you need to talk with your home insurance agent to determine what they cover and also, you should consult the city statues for what is the responsibility of the city when a like breaks or the like. It's different everywhere. For example, I am responsible for sewer lines all the way...- stevecourtright

Club Sandwiches - A Brief Dissertation
