Well here in the Democrat stronghold of Maryland we pay top dollar for everything. Our Governor Wes Moore raises fees on everything. What used to be $14.00 for emission testing is now $30.00. Gas near $4.00 per gallon. Tag fees through the roof. C huck Sims lives in Tennessee.it’s an overnight trip for him to attend the luncheon. Guess he really likes our food. Chief Beck and Mickey Frye live in West Virginia. Not far from each other. They drove together to Bob Tucker’s funeral service. . I sat between them. Chief Beck was looking really good. I jokingly told them their singing of the hymns was not too good. Now I hummed every one perfectly. I learned that trick in Sunday School Chior.
