According to Semcog and the 2010 census 28.1% of our population is over 55 years old […]
I liked Don Rickles, Mr. Kalmar, and you know what I like about you? Nothing. We have never met each other and I prefer to keep it that way. You could brighten up Lake Orion by leaving it. Sorry, did I say something to offend you? No need to thank me. The pleasure was mine. […]
