Ever check Snoops or Factcheck? I do occasionally … they are not know-it-all, but they know-more-than-the average ‘Joe’.

Can’t believe July 2019 is coming to a close. Remember in late 1999 when we were told our computers may crash in 2000? Well … we have survived 19 years and nearly 7 months … still spreading some truth and some gossip. … May have been better off if they had crashed … not really.
Better an honest enemy than a false friend.
