Once again, I was forced to listen to the radio as I was driving a car without a cd player. And once again, I caught a deejay that hardly made any sense that I’m feeling compelled to rant about it here.
She was giving a quiz, or so she thought.
The question was “what time was the […]

Revelation Revalued
