I'm an auto writer by trade, and an old-car enthusiast by design. I own too many books and too many fountain pens; I love opera; my go-to drink is bourbon; and I'm a horse racing fan. That about sums it up! You can find my writing at WomanOnWheels.ca

Good on you - keep it up. I bought one thing off Amazon about 10 years ago. Realized just how bad this company is, cancelled my account, will not use it ever again. I wish people would see this and figure it out.

Good. I don't know why anyone supports Amazon. It's actively trying to become a monopoly, it decimates retail, and it's an environmental nightmare. It's a cancer of a company and we should let it disappear.

A kitten sits on a bed, staring at the camera as a second lays stretched out flat on its back.

Sadly, the brutal underground sport of kitten fighting continues to go on unabated, and remains criminally unreported.
