Re: Rimmerman on 2018 Bordeaux

Hmm... In 2018 I was 59 years old.
I like a lot of my Bordeaux at about the 12-15 year mark.
59 + 15 = 74 years old...

Re: Everyone is super rich in San Francisco

That speech of hers generated millions in contributions for the state Democratic Party. Susan Rice, of all people, has been making noise about running against her. Apparently she considers Maine her state of residence, unbeknownst to like everybody in the state. Good luck with that.
