Hey! Remember When Gov. Perry Promised To Lower Our Health Care Costs? Well, What Happened???
Hey! Remember When Gov. Perry Promised To Lower Our Health Care Costs?
Well, What Happened???

Somewhere In Atlanta Is A Landscaper Without Gas
Somewhere In Atlanta Is A Landscaper Without Gas After years of creating ad campaigns for high-profile companies like Coca-Cola, a good friend of mine in Atlanta has decided to do what many successful advertising people do when they reach that point in their careers where they can simply LOOK at a new product and, without any hesitation whatsoever, begin to vomit: And that, of course, is to go into the lawn care business.
