http://sashmore.blogs.nwfdailynews.com/26/walking-your-animal-make-sure-its-under-control
Raquo; Whims and Notions. Make sure it’s under control. August 18, 2015. Last week, as I was retrieving my newspaper, a skater was performing some figure-eights in the middle of the street.

I’ve become used to this eatery’s quick service and sometimes bring a short novel when ordering two or more meals, but last night wins an award, hands down. The obvious question for someone whose interest goes beyond mere hunger would be, What’s on a seven-layer burrito? A knowledgeable employee answered, Yes.
