Married In Ohio

An interesting thing happened to me at boxing class earlier this week. One of the activities that we do involves, as the instructor puts it, heavy tires. Most of the women use car tires or truck tires and, occasionally front tires from semi-trucks. Most of the men use, semi-truck tires, or tires farm machinery. Anyway, [...]

The Girl and I were involved in a philosophical discussion until the early hours of the morningon Tuesday/Wednesady.
