I got up, and put on my favorite pair of jeans. These jeans have been through a lot, with holes in the knees
It's commonly remarked that the average lakes are absolutely nasty. That doesn't stop most of the same remark makers from visiting the gross bodies of water, however, nor even having fun during their visits to them.
