I even like the people, although I'm kind of "meh" about them. <BR/><BR/>But does anyone else have a crush on the buildings in the background, the water on the ground, and the cloudy, dismal, dreary sky? It's gorgeous.

In fact, massmarket pbs were virtually beta-tested on those guys during the war - supercheap wartime editions provided to the troops for free.<BR/><BR/>rpRex Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16145707733877505087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660994103025515363.post-77208449182420213632009-04-06T06:14:00.000-07:002009-04-06T06:14:00.000-07:00I was impressed how she managed to coordinate her ...I was impressed how she managed to coordinate her headband and trim on her skirt so nicely.
