My brother Rob likes to buy military gear even though he’s a civilian. He wears combat boots the way most people would wear regular shoes and he wears camouflage stuff when he goes hunting. Rob also likes to use military-grade accessories like pocket knives, compasses, and even watches. In fact, I heard that he’s looking [...]
My husband keeps his motocross bikes and tools in the garage, which leaves us no room to park our cars. This is of course very inconvenient for me, but I put up with it because Jerry was into bikes long before I arrived on the scene, so I have no right to complain. We have [...]
