I was well out of school and in my late 20's before someone told me I was likely dyslexic, and they knew the signs because they were also. I didn't care...

Weatherman blew it today, and instead of cold, heavy rains, we got 60 degrees, windy, and warm, with almost no rain until a few minutes ago. So decided...

With warm, dry weather, I drug the new seats out of the storage, and began the cleaning. I'm guessing from the color of the cleaner and rags, this might...
