I think one of my biggest problems in the states is the natzi non-smoker movement! I can cope alright until it gets cold and all smokers are banished to the cold outdoors.

Jopa Returns!
( events » community ) The brief though sudden return of the Jopa will be occurring this coming week. Careful if you blink you may miss it. It is very likely that you can witness this anomaly at the central orchard during a nice day.
