Good morning everyone,
I had a really good intro planned for today but don’t remember it. Something about writing character dialogue? Or using deodorant with propylene glycol? Some cases will never be cracked.
On the topic of cases and cracking, check out what we have for you today. Top story is a new grocery section in the Coffman Bookstore. Opinions desk has a brutally pointed situationship satire, and A&E brings the heat with a “The Boys” review, a FAYE photo story and more. Check out a sports soccer team snapshot, too.
Like pointless anecdotes, there is something for everyone. If you ain’t lookin’, you ain’t cookin’!
Stay nice with it,
