Spread the word. Tell the children.

The giraffe has returned to the roof of the Meijer gas station on W. Saginaw Highway.

All is right in the world again.

Starbucks announced that their famous Pumpkin Spice Latte will be available to customers beginning Tuesday, the 24th.

The people had lost their way and turned to horse and cow drugs to save them from the scourge of the plague (I'm being over dramatic here but they did start using this stuff).

The NY Post published an article that the FDA has had to issue a warning to COVID sufferers about the dangers of using a horse and cow de-wormer to treat their symptoms.

The blessed giraffe is back. Back I tell you. Even though he never really truly left us did he?

He's always been right here with us all along...not just in our hearts. But...in this corral right beside the old gas station and in front of the Meijer.
