No commute today, but need to drop my car off for repairs. Found a place that will make me whole for $900. Much better than the quote of $3K I got from Pep Boys.

1974 — he White House released transcripts of subpoenaed tape recordings showing that President Richard Nixon and his chief of staff, H.R. Haldeman, had discussed a plan in June 1972 to use the CIA to thwart the FBI’s Watergate investigation; revelation of the tape sparked Nixon’s resignation.

I can't recall anything about the Tabacos Baez either, but they seem a decent deal for a $2.50 DPG stick. I did a quick search on here and it seems I was dogging them back in 2015. Couldn't find an actual review or evidence that I had smoked it.
