Rule # one In Track and Field or politics: stay in your lane.

by Hon. Joe Volpe May 10, 2021August 25, 2023

I stopped in a Dollar Store to pick up two cards: one, a birthday, the other, a Mothers’ day – both for the same person. Most of the store was dutifully sectioned off, even the card rack. I picked up the two cards anyway and proceeded to pay.
