• Logic

  
  LIVING WITH RAD — Authority: 124
  Here is an excellent example of no logic. I did a load of laundry for Bear yesterday. I put them in the dryer before I left for class. I remember setting the dial for extra long so the jeans would be sure and be dry. This morning he says "I need to go down and get my clean laundry." Next thing I know he is screaming ...

  Bear is over the flu and went back to school today. His anger began creeping back more and more each day he felt better.
