And if SDGE did not do an investigation, what consequences would they face from the shrieking hordes of twitter taking offense on other people's behalf?

Leave My Girl Alone by Stevie Ray Vaughan is pretty much a master class for a guitar player that wants to mess around with 3rds and 7ths.

fredsanfordon The problem with third-party delivery platforms
