And in honor of post 2100....notice, the large 3 tube pak...

Thanks for the license plate!  Love it!

Now, I was wondering, since you provided us with the history of KY, how 'bout the history of Astroglide?

I actually looked that up too, when I was getting the KY history. However, my husband just arrived with chinese takeout so you'll need to wait a few minutes for the inside scoop...

I thought this quote from another poster on this forum would add an appropriate postscript to Louise's response. For full quote see http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php?topic=633.0

Another scenario might preserve the fact that Jack dies, and Ennis is left bereft of his dear friend. But with the passage of time, as he goes on roundup, sits in the bar, or goes to the store or laundry, he notices some glimmer of Jack's familiar beauty in the faces of other men

...


Ennis slowly begins to realize that Jack is not only a living presence in his heart, but a living spiritual force in the world around him. Some precious essence of Jack is still to be felt--in the very people that remain tangible to Ennis!

...





Thanks for posting that quote mm!

I posted this on LJ but thought I'd share here as well:

Let's get the bad guys arrested, the Red Stallion re-opened, and then maybe Brad can find someone else to flirt with!  (I'm getting a little tired of Brad laying it on Ellery so thick... maybe you can just call me Ms. Coyote!)
