There’s a phrase for the kind of “bath” Ms. Palmer prefers…
I wonder if Walmart’s plan for Suburban was just a grocery store if there would be as much opposition.
Isn’t Walmart planning a similar store for Glenwood Park? I would imagine a supermarket would be welcomed by Grant Park, Ormewood Park, and East Atlanta residents, and perhaps even most of the Glenwood Park folk.
Everyone should look at those Soapbox Derby pics. What fun!
It was nice to attend a car race where people were there to see the cars finish safely and the drivers have fun, rather than hoping for a pileup.
Looking forward to next year’s derby (which will have a car built by yours truly, if my kids have anything to say about it).
Only goes backwards and only turns right? I kid. I kid.
Actually, it clubs baby seals and eats small children for breakfast.
And the turning right thing? Assuredly…but it would be caused by my car-building skills (or lack thereof). I wonder if I can install some airbags.
Token, did you see my kid? He ROCKED!
I’m sure I did, as I watched them all (don’t know which is yours). And they all rocked (and yes, since yours won, he rocked just a little bit more).
anyone else lost power? in Lenox place we’re too green for electricity!
It just likes to cycle over at my house. See if Ga Power can fry all of my electronics. New Backup UPS is on its way.
I stopped using deodorant about 2 years ago myself. I play sports and work out regularly. Now, I definitely shower every day…but deodorant soap works just fine and doesn’t contain aluminum.
There sure are a lot of Decatur folks interested in not showering as often! Over 300 click-thrus on that two year-old NYT article yesterday.
I look forward to smelling you all!
