This video1explains a number of the rules that Texas had about sex toys: Highlights include: You could buy a dildo, but only as long as you didn’t call it a dildo. You […] →Read more

Random Thoughts I Had on the Bus Today

I love when bus drivers announce the next stop.  Why don’t they all do that? Why do I (almost) always sneeze in pairs? Hey, it’s sunny out! I am super excited for Northern Voice next weekend! I wonder who wants to go skiing with me on Wednesday. →Read more
