KSB Cruises to another successful car show
Get a little bit of rain and classic and antique car owners get a little squeamish about hauling out their renovated, souped up gems, which are almost like a family member to them. But grab some sunshine, and they are more than ready to bring out their vehicle, bring the Armor All and set up shop along the side of the road for a good old-fashioned car show. The latter is exactly what took place...
Baseball Generals get double celebration at banquet

So I know it is not as much about the giving birth as...

A large tub of shoes, a big bin of purses and a box full of accessories continue to wait for moving day, not to mention two five-foot rods; tops and bottoms...
