The World of Leather isn’t a high class furniture store or a secretive establishment that sells kinky underwear under the counter.

My report starts with a car ride courtesy of Chipper & Spuds. Yep, I got the princess treatment both directions enjoying the entire back seat, all to myself.

Don’t believe the display time, just know you’re a Bimbler and you always do your best, give it your all, leave nothing out there, ya’ know stuff like that!
When the “sweaty, foot slappin’ – heavy breathin’ – running WAY too close to ya’ – guy” runs on top of you and pops the question “can I pace off you?” Spuds will tell you… “Just say no!” [Read more…] about Lessons Learned at New Bedford 2009
