FrostytheSnowman: Prayers going out for all in Texas.
Media is beginning to report that the refineries are shut down, and not sure yet when they will open back up.

God be with you all!

Back in the olden days we had a lot of moxie. Wed put on our best bib and tucker just to straighten up and fly right.
Hubba-hubba! Wed cut a rug in some juke joint and then go necking and petting and smooching and spooning and billing and cooing and pitching woo in hot rods and jalopies in some passion pit or lovers lane.
