Ashore. Bob may need the extra data plan for the Zoom tomorrow.
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

So far, I am banging my head against the wall. Ashamed that I had to look up a fabric. I thought I knew a lot about textiles, but that was a new one on me. Had to look up a couple of other things as well.
