I will, eventually. It’s just a matter of time, money, and how my education goes.

She really held some interesting ideas.

I was thinking that when we walked past Paul Heyck (the coffee store) here - not sure if you noticed them, but they have those advertising signs out thave have a pair of blackamoors on them; very old, very much a curiosity and a throwback to centuries past nowadays, but I still thought that it was something that wouldn't fly in the USA. I did notice, but I guess at that point, I was quite used to the difference in ( ... )
