No sand for me.
I have just a bit of Aragonite to help some of the rocks not slide around.

Well done!

That didnt take long
Did any of the names of their jersies say, "Hansen"?

This next one is for Chris because he loves Ohio artists!
Speaking of Ohio "artists", I started watching a documentary called, "The Dark Money Game." It's all SB 6, Larry Householder, Neil Clark and the rest of the gang. I kept watching for you but, unfortunately, you made no appearances.
