Q

Lickety provides a service, every day again for us, just because he wants to. It's not a right we have. And sometimes, the clues don't generate automatically and he has to intervene, which he might not even be aware of. I value his work very much.

1:49 am

7:26 am

Sugrraleona

OMG - do you have a Ring camera to catch those that don't scoop? i'd scoop, put it in a paper bag, bring it back to their house - set it on fire and ring the door bell and run - and watch them stamp the fire out
