I got back to Ames Friday night. I am so broke. I have $4 in the bank, quite literally.

And we were expecting a big truck today and one tomorrow, but there were dire weather predictions, so I called both distributors to ask if they were coming. They both acted like I was a crazed alarmist and were like, "Yes! We're commited to excellence! Of course we' ( Read more... )
