Re: What's going on in your city/country/region?

Re: Pocket Monsters

I liked monster stickers and smurfs, but I never bought a smurf. Not sure how into Pokemon I would have been if I were younger. I'd like looking through the cards even today though.

Re: What's going on in your city/country/region?

I read that one of the vessels that could raise the sub is 1000 miles away, in Massachusetts. It didn't sound like it's on its way. They're waiting to find the sub before making rescue plans. In other news, Newsweek quotes Trump and a constitutional law scholar. Trump: "...it is like, highly confide...
