Deals, deals, deals
By S. Buska I whipped around and sped over to the Verizon store clear across town. Got a parking space right up front. No line. About to save twenty-three dollars a month. It all started with that Verizon bill I told you about – three hundred dollars because Paul and I went over our minutes. [...]
From the ground up
Up Against It By S. Buska From the ground up We have an elevator in our building that has three floors. Not the elevator – the building. There’s the Ground floor: that’s where we park. It’s really Underground – half of it. Then there’s Floor 1 and there’s Floor 2. That’s it. Not much of [...]
