Yay!!! Good to see my home state of Ohio getting free and positive marketing ads. Fyi the famous "Buckeye" (the mascot for OSU) is in fact a poisonous nut from a tree of the same name. The leaves of the Buckeye tree are shaped similar to that of ganja leaves! Are people eating these nuts there? Why TF is the whole world going mad bonkers?? Anyway, now ya know... so pass it on!

I am an ID Channel fanatic! I watch these for many reasons. To remind myself that no matter how much you think you know someone, sometimes you don't. To remember the victim/s and their families and remember that their pain never goes away and we all need to remain vigiliant of our surroundings and protect our loved ones as much as we can!
