The Appalachian Mountain System, running 2000 miles from Newfoundland to central Alabama, has graced the landscape of what is the eastern US today, originally formed…
By: Penelope a.k.a. Hippie Liberal Momma I have to admit, I am surprised with all the so called “radical ideas" that I address - my vaccine posts attract the most opposition. Is it really that strange to think it's a bad idea for me to listen to the government…
