Dear Pennies and Pallers,

Please welcome our Pal and newest guest host, Ryan Sickler! In today’s letter Jacqueline asks about our thoughts on displaying yard signs and bumper stickers. We also talk about Ryan witnessing crime from his old balcony, Daniel’s brilliant brake light invention, finding porn as a kid, and more!

We wish you well, sincerely,
