Frank, unfortunately Simone finally just gave up right before Thanksgiving. She was 15 1/2 when I had to do my duty.

I am looking around for another and pray I will be blessed with another soon. The local adoption agencies here are something else! They want to come into my house to determine if it is suitable!! They want to examine my computer to list all the sites I have visited lately! Really??? I swear it is easier to adopt triplets than a dog.

My MGs are on the road, my 1974 Jensen Healey with a 16 valve DOHC head Lotus 4 banger is almost running.

My spring project is my restored 1930 Willys Knight 4dr. Have to fix the carb and vacuum fuel tank pump. Otherwise it is immaculate.

I just have to keep a bitch of a distant neighbor at bay. Probably a suit will come about. Whoppee!

If someone throws a stone at you, throw a flower at them. Remember to throw the flower pot with it.

Back in the day they built some pretty big homes. I guess they had bigger family's also. Must be the upper class folks that had the money.

Has it ever been otherwise?

Social standing, class echelon, in American society, hasn't seemed to be a determiner of how many children an individual or couple might have.

Or in many others for that matter......in anything, it might be an inverse relationship.

Still, nice houses!

Probably run by a few "little old ladies" that need something
I ran into that once when trying to adopt a cat from a privately run shelter. I told them what I thought about that and sometime later made a curb-side rescue.

It's VA. They want to make sure you're not another Micheal Vick.

Yup! Looks like the playground was adjacent to the rail yard or at least several tracks.

For me that would be a real playground.

Playground in Greencastle in my distant youth was adjacent to the mainline tracks.
