Frivolous …hummmm

There are several blogs / sites that I read regularly. One of those is  Hydrant Gal (She calls it Hydrantgirl … I say “Gal”). I enjoy following her exploits plus I’m a sucker for a gal in wranglers and a cowboy hat. Anyway, her  last post   was about weird calls. You know … those calls where you ask yourself ..”did ...
