flea, I suspect that might just be some sort of coded message there.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

He is crazy in so many ways; he's got down-the-line extreme right-wing views (Obama is a socialist and may not be a citizen, jack-booted thugs and so forth), but I think my favorite is he thinks it should be legal to import polar bear trophies. It's almost amusing that such a man represents probably the biggest collection of lefty hippies in the state of Georgia (Ginger may claim Decatur, hence my disclaimer). (Our district was designed by a Republican committee to elect a Republican - it includes a bug chunk of rural areas, but even then he barely squeaked into office on a fluke.)

I'm gonna picture him riding a liver fluke to the Capitol Building now.

Oh, ALSO? He proposed a bill that would prohibit military personnel from buying Playboy (or any similar publication). Now, I've never been in the Army, but I doubt that would be real popular. Way to support the troops, Paul!

Second biggest. Your collection of lefty hippies is diluted by conservative natives. Even Decatur natives have the worldview of lefty hippies. (Decatur, older than Atlanta by some years, declined the offer to become the railroad hub that Atlanta was eventually created to be. It was thought the railroad would bring too many people and filthy commerce.)

DUDE. NOT ON. Might get some of 'em reading trashy romance novels, though. :)
Eep. The expensive house sold on Wednesday, thereby taking away any dilemma I had about wanting it but being unable to afford it. And I just talked to the agent about the possibilities of putting in an offer on the other house. And sent him some info. And he's going to draw up a thing, and get back to me. Eep.

Technology is neat. I needed to reference an article that wasn't available anywhere online. Also not available at my university library. There's an off-site storage place for books that don't get used too much that does have it. So I put in a request over the internet, and someone at the off-site storage place scanned it, and now I can log on to my account and read it.

oh, that would not work. My dad says that there is a porn store within 500 feet (or the closest allowed by law) of any military base in the country.
