Almost like playing dodge ball.

I was thinking (although there is alot of other boards) a board for Orange growers or a Howard Dill board, not that it matters, it is just a idea. It is windy and in the 40's right now, feels like fall. Thanks for the seeds from growers, some were used for Christmas gifts, they were appreciated. � Tuesday, December 27 View Page Me with the band Hoobastank in Iraq � Tuesday, December 27 View Page My picts I took in Iraq won't post, maybe I uploaded them different on to my other computer.
