Questioning everything raises little doubt that all is not well. #fb
Crazy news headline of the day: “Full moon does not affect surgery outcomes, scientists find” #fb

The 3Gs’ first-ever state fair today. Six hours with Boy-King and Raindog (4 hours of bulk love). Man those boys are wonderful! #fb
