Do you feel that ‘buzz’?

It’s 8:00am in beautiful, historic, St. Charles Illinois (I’m not sure what specifically is historic about it, but there must be something).

Telemarketing via Skype

High compatibility

Was reading Cigar Aficionado on the plane ride to TCEA today, and came across a fantastic line.  Page 43, a review of the Colibri M-Stick lighter.  It’s a lighter with a built in USB drive, 128mb.  I’m sure airport security would love to take one of those.
