...Enjoying the attention a little too much, I realized I needed to leave. As I left I was stopped by Mikey Halliday, who was wearing a Hillary Clinton sweatshirt and begged me to vote for the Democrats.

Her lyrics are not wondering, but answering, with little sign of backing down from her claims. On "Road Wrath," Hatfield orders "Give me a reason to gun it." Apparently Juliana's Pony is reason enough, as she slows down just long enough to tear ahead again. Although Beautiful Creature...
...waterfall, a bone-shaped wading pool for splashing, a grassy acre for chasing and racing, and fenced-in space for digging make California's PARADISE RANCH a canine country club. Karen Estudillo, pet parent of Yorkshire terrier Mikey and Amoy, a Maltese, says she is "guilt free" when she and her husband Tom leave the dogs at the hacienda-style Sun Valley ranch. "It looks like the animals have more fun than I do when...
