Mrs. LFM and I work as a team in all our endeavours and hence, each of us rarely goes abroad in the land without the other. Well, today was an exception - she had some field work to do with a couple of our dogs while I got to do a fire alarm inspection in [...]

Yesterday Mrs. LFM and I were entering our automobile in the parking lot of the Bridgewater Canadian Tire.
