But ya know, Bobbie boy, what "Evian" spells backwards, don't ya? Naive!"

ErWenn - 2008-02-21: 08:53:00
I've spent most of my life in the desert (16 years in Nevada and 8 in Arizona), so where I come from, this sort of behavior is just common sense.
Jabberwocky - 2008-02-21: 09:12:00
I like the picture today James - it's closer to a cartoon
Thanks Jabberwocky. I'm having a little fun with the photos -- just to keep them light. And by the way, we're floating in great words today. Obviously everyone here is over-hydrated. ~ James
