    What Are You Reading

    Not to jump on John's response, but when I was at his BBQ in May, Max had a lot of fun meandering up to people, not being fed (his diet) and chasing the occasional airplane. :D Max is a sweet dog! :) Lee

    I must've had a good day the day I found it in that pawn shop, and actually had the cash in savings to not only purchase but to have it repaired. I've wanted one for as many years as you've been alive, so don't worry, I have no intention of giving it up. ;) Photo nerdiness is fun! :) I...
