If they can hire Lane Kiffin in the middle of playoffs and put Ed Orgeron back on the payroll then they can forgive me for tickets I never got. :D

Jeff I had something similar happen. I sold a Jeep Cherokee to a man who bought it for his son who attended LSU. A year or so later I got a letter from LSU telling me I had unpaid tickets. I called the university and told them I didn't own the vehicle and hadn't been on the campus in 20...

Rain totals over the 90 day period up to April 30 look to be favorable for duck production. Perhaps the drought has broke.

Henry She's looking fantastic. The attention to details is impressive. I have no doubt she gets launched before duck season.
