Congrats to Rush’s family on the dedication of the new courthouse in the “Show Me State”, MIzzou. :)=^..^=
Sorry for the panic wondering why you were not going to be in yesterday. Mark Davis did a great job subbing.
Please see post number 21. Thanks. :) =^..^=
The ‘Show-Me’ state ought to be renamed ‘The Rush Limbaugh State’. If I lived in Missouri that’s what my license plate would say :)
Goes to show that Rush’s family are now legends in Mizzou.
