Heaven will benefit from the great work of Larry and Jerry and it will be more like Santa Clara when we get there thanks to them.

Michael“Outwit. Outlast. Outplay.” is the tagline of the long-running reality TV series Survivor. While the show enters its overplayed 50th season, Mayor Lisa Gillmor continues to run her own long-running game—one where the rules bend in her favor.
