  1. Wick,

    Thanks for the post. I would love to see more weekend news. Actually, I would love to see more posts during the week, too. The volume has noticeably decreased.

  8. My apologies, good readers. I thought a city and state were the same thing. Similarly, I think $100 bills and $1 bills are the same thing.
