Ever notice how even squeaky toys are less prevalent than in their glory day? Many that I see at Mall-Wart are solid plastic.

Expat, I was thinking of you while on tour in London. I survived the food.

A rare occurrence, KDP. How was the beer?

Lots of ale for me, flat and at room temperature as a proper beer should be served.
