“But the radio died!”

      Luckily his wife went looking for him. Who knows how long he would’ve stayed down there! He could’ve lasted for years. Thanks so much. I’m glad you enjoyed this. 🙂

    Good thing Cleveland made it. It would be sad if Cleveland went away. I assume; I’ve never actually been. 🙂
