Remember back in fifth grade when you had to build that bridge, vague geometric shape, outhose, etc. out of toothpicks? The project so fragile if the bus to school took a turn at more than 2 mph, it would crumble to pieces. Reflect on those projects and prepare to be humbled. I thought the baseball field of green was a nice touch.

Maybe that particular reviewer deserves a second look since you two seem to be on similar movie viewing wavelengths. Go »

7-Eleven's Legacy

Landscaping

It's too late now but I should have taken and posted a picture of my quaint (translation: small) front yard. Brenda and I (translation: Brenda) decided that in order to sell our house at a more attractive price, it should look more attractive to potential buyers. Makes sense, I guess. Go »
