2015 February 17, cbd. Began adding titles of books read with finish dates, but not reviewed. Update as of 2011 July 30 (written 2011 September 7).

Sonic Burger has car hops, just like A&W did. However, at A&W we had to wear roller skates. I was pretty good at moving along, but didn’t really know how to stop. We only saw about eight students.
