Actually it’s just over a minute according to what I see. I didn’t refresh while ago. But it is definitely almost correct for a change.

I knew he was a bad man but whoa…

He’s been feeding the hamsters promises for most of their lives and still he gets them to put out. Maybe he can do something with this daylight savings time crap next.

Ya sure he’s not kin to **Cecil**

Still haven’t heard from upstairs yet, I guess. I still think we should all send Jerry an X-Mas card with a $10 inside. 🙂
