If I can't hang on and instead have to swim, which side of the river is closer or easier to get to because of the river course."<BR/><BR/>I make plans for what I would do if someone coming towards me while driving suddenly has a heart attack and veers into my lane. <BR/><BR/>Some people have suggested I have some OCD mental disorder, now, thanks to Aviatrix, I can put the blame where it clearly belongs. Being a cub scout. <BR/><BR/>DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-1131481800168755042005-11-08T20:30:00.000+00:002005-11-08T20:30:00.000+00:00Scouting for Boys is probably illegal these days.Y...Scouting for Boys is probably illegal these days.<BR/>You did well.
