We devour that which we don't understand." --Captain Distraction (Me) --- If only you knew how much I smell you --Roy Blount Jr on True portraits of dogs --- I have seen a great deal of the world. People are pretty much the same. --Roy Blount Jr gives voice to a Chiuaua --- Got an oilchange. They gave me a sticker with the date for the next change, three months from today. Christmas.
