I know, especially with all that is going on in the world today, that the following topic is right up there with "are cows ambidextrous?" or "Who won the world series in 1960" but, at the moment, I have gotten a lot of questions, from people where I grew up, or people planning visits to … Continue reading And Gutenberg Lived Here: The Day Of The Purple Dumplings
