As Kevin found out, the weather can play tricks on you–He had just gone to the nearby Subway for a sandwich when he got caught in the fog. Not planning to be out long, he hadn’t put on his Rolex, so accurate timing was difficult, but it seemed like a long time before he was able to see ground again, and here he was, not in coastal Texas, but coastal Lake Michigan in Wisconsin. He noted that these Cheese Heads talked funny, not like normal folks back in Texas . . .
Secret Agent Zenvo was on the job– her spy software got all of the really good sale notices before the public, she always got the best deals on the best stuff, period. Being her friend paid real rewards for the fashionista elite. But friend or minion, it was worth it . . .
In an effort to try to jump-start the Euro-Zone economy, various Euro-Zone countries sent trade delegations to the US, especially Texas because of the robust Texas economy.

When John’s girlfriend Eve said that refineries and, for that matter, all industrial sites were just ugly, John, an engineer with an artist’s heart, tried to get Eve to see that beauty was in the eye of the beholder . . .

In his weekly speech to the public, the president talked about hard choices for the good of the country. For instance, with rising costs and political tension, it was necessary for the office of the president to maintain a a strong, prosperous image by flying everywhere in Air Force One. To make that happen, he suggested that everyone junk their high performance gas guzzlers and buy the Dutch “Little Red Wagons” shown above. Ted Cruz and the Texans didn’t seem to see it quite the same way . . .
