My dear friend the oenophile and EPA employee has regaled us many times over the years with tales of illegal asbestos removal. That's her specialty, and she has testified all over the country and in Jamaica.

I read a story the other day that said foxes do this when hunting because they have a better chance of detecting prey underground (mice, voles, etc.).

Good run so far.

I know they're much older now, but Hanson will always be a teen band. The thought of them selling beer is just wrong!

But, gosh, this was a "music" question I actually could have answered!

Okay, I had to test this. Beneath the forecast, the first hit for the second choice is a website someone created called doineedanumbrella.com.

Not to be confused with the third hit, doineedanumbrellatoday.com.
