Oh and a must have for me, Adee, was a blue-ice cooling pad, used after an intense knee bending session to quiet the pained nerves.
A priest with some moves! You can tell the students love him. Stuff like this makes religion and faith approachable, and lets kids know that priests are people, too.

There’s no rail service, high-speed or otherwise, barely anything that could be called a highway, and the only oceangoing route is via a container ship.

I can’t imagine liking heated seats. I simply produce enough heat myself.
I use the heated air in the vehicle but it’s never enough for any passengers that I carry.
Cooled seats sounds like a good thing for Texas but I’m not very sure about that.
I’ve heard it’s a ‘must have’ with leather seats.
And that reminded me of a Dolly Parton story I recently heard on an interview. She was talking about Porter Waggoner and how he was trying to control every move of her career while she had ideas of her own which resulted in their split up. She claimed that Porter treated her like she is a dumb blond, but that… Read more »
