Summer of 2019, we drove to Ohio and back to visit some of my wife's
family.
On our way home, we stayed over one night in Fargo ND. Walking back to

My brother-in-law is a chef who rescues restaurants in the chain that he
works for. He said in the South because of e-verify chefs are paid about $7
more per hour than in the northern states that don't have to be verified
for citizenship. I wonder if all employment in the South requires e-verify?
I've had good luck (well, I've done it once with good results) just using the
plug kits you get at FLAPS. As long as the screw/nail is in the main tread area
and not close to or in the sidewall, you just ream out the hole with the
provided tool and push the plug in.
That doesn't get you a
This issue has gone round and round. I have plugged tires that never
