Checking calibration post-storm never crossed my mind. I just assume the tool holds up, but now I'm wondering if all that shaking messes with it. Might have to start doing that from now on.

Heard about my friend Alex who found out his cousin was secretly gay. He first thought it was wrong and almost told their whole family.

Ever had a moment like that where you switched sides on a secret?
