Comments
Now, now, folks. Electric wipers are still new and it takes time so witless out the issues.
Work, not witless. Then again….
Apparently internet commenting boards, typing, autocorrect and proofreading are new too, and it takes time to work out the typos.
(As evidenced by only one of the mistakes in the preceding comment being remedied.) 😉
Touché.
Wishing you a happy Sunday Grizz! 🌞
