I man 79 lives 5 miles from his nearest neighbor. This is news? This is pitiful. This is right up there with the news that the paint on the wall dried.
The stock markets hae completely crashed! Iran has been bombed! thousands dead in horrific crash! Oil prices up to $200 a barrel! 300-mile-wide meteor headed to Earth!
........is this better?
What is pitiful is your inability to be interested in or appreciative of anything other than your own ego-centered existence.
I found this blog fascinating. I would have liked it to be longer and with more details about Mr. Sayevich and his life.
It's a nice human interest story, but I'd like more than just the pictures to find out what the story IS. This feels like half an article.
I would love to learn more about this persons life.
Indeed. I think it's pretty captivating honestly.
