[AquaticLife] Who Was That Masked Man? Thanks Dr. Tim!
Yeah this is the worst winter I’ve seen since I was a kid, and I dont’ think that one was even that bad. So it’s been easily 15-20 years since we’ve had this much snow, especially all at once. I’m so ready for the rain to come back, at least I can comfortably drive in rain
