I Didn't Ride My Motorcycles All Winter And Now They're Mad At Me
The weather here in the midwest is warm enough in February to be something that definitely keeps me up at night.

What’s the sign that someone has more money than sense? Is it a swanky espresso machine perched on their kitchen counter, or perhaps a boujie electric bike that’s stored in their shed? Personally, I think it’s paying more than double for a Tesla Cybertruck that’s been flipped at auction.
