While working as a receptionist at my local welfare office, I have experienced more situations and conversations than ANYONE would find believable. These stories are all 100% true. I’d like to give you a brief glimpse into one of my favorites. A Favorite Work Story Now I’d like you to know, so that you can [...]
Once again, a poor, innocent rodent is accused of power outages throughout the Shamokin and Coal Township area. Can one small (although beady-eyed) squirrel cause that much damage to two ENTIRE towns? This author thinks NOT (but this is only the opinion of Shamokin.biz and does not reflect any legal rights or law enforcement findings). [...]
So, back to the Camp Crystal Lake reference…any Friday the 13th fans out there?
