After sharing a laugh over Cortez's 'cow flatulence', Bojack breaks wind and walks away to take a nap. Maybe she has a point, cows are much bigger. South Albany people protesting an already approved liquor store is chasing a bus that left. Don't start fighting when a war is over. Americans \Nere expected to spend $20.7 billion for Valentines Day. What a waste, would rather have a wall. Is Phoebe's proposed trauma center where to go when hurt bad or where to go when you open a patient bill? What in the world is wrong with Coffee County? Killings and drug arrests rivaling Albany. Thanks to the Lee sheriff's deputy who made sure I didn't get run over when my car quit in a busy place. Good to see the Trojans being honored with ring and other ceremonies. Enjoy your time in the sun, you earned it! Admirable some in Albany are undertaking cleaning up litter on the streets. Take pic tures quickly, it won't stay that way long. Danger! Wife watching decluttering videos on Netflix again. Good bye, my stuff. Dump of tires and a outdoor grill on what ever the new road is on west of G1 land. No houses there, a stop and dump action.

However the lawn is nothing but weeds, the historical plaque out front is almost unreadable and the steps are beyond weathered. It looks like a job that's unfinished, what is the plan for that? Georgia solar power on rise as coal plants are shuttered. A wise man said "Where you see cypress knees, don't build there." Houses should not have been built in low lying areas thus creat ing the flooding of residential property. "Men do not make laws. They do but dis cover them. Laws must be justified by some thing more than the will of the majority. They must rest on the eternal foundation of righteousness." - Calvin Coolidge A new bill to overhaul Georgia's elections would alert voters and give them more time before their registrations are canceled, pro posals that could curtail large-scale remov als of voters from the rolls.
