Open for Business

Last year, Jason Abner's Location A detail business was closed on Labor Day. This year, he is open for business. What happened was that we had a busy Labor Day last year.

Electric Motorcycles?

I was talking with Bruce and Howard Booth yesterday at Location A when Bruce said, “You know what? I wish there was a law that made all motorcycles electric.
