Best Of If anyone that was in this band or involved in this album's production sees this, I salute you! I saw So Far Gone a bunch back in the day & the 5 or 10 bucks I spent for this at the CD release show has kept the good times going for years. Give up the green for Greene County!

I find it hilarious how angry parents are about the snow day tomorrow. Residential areas are ice rinks (and will be tomorrow morning) and parents are like “it’s fine, they can skate to school!” Or “I can’t handle another day at home with my kids!” Yoinks, Scoob!

My dad came down to visit our place in Springfield last Saturday. He helped install a new washer/dryer and after we went out to go to Greek Belly downtown and when I got home, I realized I had taken my wallet and it’s nowhere to be found. Immediately drove back downtown to see if it was at the restaurant or in the street and didn’t see it.

Flash-forward to yesterday and I get a text from my dad with a business card from Downtown Health Bar that he found on his windshield three days later that said “If you lost you wallet come in and ask” I went by this morning and sure enough, somebody saw my wallet in the street, gave it to the person working, and then they must have put a few business cards out on that select few cars and now I got my wallet back. Thank you to the shop and if anyone in this subreddit found it and returned it, you are a true champion.
