Before you ‘pre-board,’ leave your brain at security
I took a public speaking class about a million years ago and learned that humans only actually use about one-quarter of the available vocabulary in the English language. JAN 19

Students have no reason not to vote
Every day, I walk past the Duck Pond on the way to Dane Smith, and I see the table.
