A few of them were flashing their colors which showed they were from the mainland so I got the feeling that they were here for a biker war/take over of the Island drug buisness. They were stopped at a light while I was walking across the street while eating a cheese burger - a few of them were staring at me and I was going to say - what are you staring at but I thought that would be double trouble - eating a un healthy burger and mouthing off to bikers. Cheers and happy weekend! less

I can’t remember how long the ban lasted, maybe a couple of months, maybe six. When it was lifted, sure enough, another dog-bite incident, and the ban was back on, only permanently this time. For about the past four years, the neighbor has had to pick up mail at the post office.
I didn’t even know such a ban exits. less

When I listen online, however, it’s go to the home button, select log on option, Touch ID here, open this, click here, minimize that, scroll, scroll, scroll, swipe right three times, select station, confirm that I want to leave the current station, close this, select again, decline the opinion poll, scroll again, tap twice, decline the pop-up ad, enter zip code, pretend to read the entire privacy agreement, accept privacy agreement, click this again . . . Grrrrrrrr. Okay, so I’m exaggerating.

I wrote to them saying I was strongly opposed to that as the man was it professional not a Slave and I didn't see how a black chef can be considered racist. So what do you all think? Shouldn't they make an exception foreign Cream of Wheat chef?
