I was reading the classified ads in Sunday’s Peoria Journal . I came across a most intriguing job. Swinger’s World needs a jismopper. Now this is no minimum wage job. $10 an hour! So if downsizing has you down, just know you can always go be a jismopper. It truly is “Better in Peoria”.

Only in the East Bluff

My oldest son is extremely nosey. If your dog has a new collar my son will notice and tell the world. Yesterday he says to me, “Guess what Mr. J. was using to clear the snow off his car?”
I figured he was using a broom. My son says “No, Mom, he was using a hammer.” Only in the East Bluff!
