Can't you just imagine the City Council meeting where that proposal was up for approval? First the community standards crowd speaks up: "I object the the plan. It's really more of a violet." And then the environmentalists get a turn: "Are we restoring it to the 2004 pre-Charley developed state or it's true natural condition?"

*And possibly Traveller, too, although nobody seems certain as to what her "retooling" entails.

I know. I don't know why I said that. I could never imagine you doing such a thing. Nor can I imagine your daughter having bad taste in men. Then again, she hasn't met me.

I think your original comments were referring to the possibility that Dov might be so cruel as to tear up his credit card. We know that he is a generous as a papa and his daughter does well and his credit rating does well whenever she visits!!
Why don't you just tell people about the goats on the roof?????

(This is how many great romances begin. Or at least a few dirty weekends. Not that I would know, of course.)
And she offers them a lemonade. And they offer her a shortcut through the traffic. (Kind of like an airline upgrade.) Only different.
You know. Or if you don't, just ask Traveller for the pics.

Sure, just think of it as a screenplay/movie collage. Random scenes from some of the worst movies ever made interspersed with shots of planes taking off and landing.
A man in a cape steps out of the fog. A woman screams. A plane takes off. A man screams. (Missed flight?) A taxi stuck in traffic. A plane lands. A shot of a diner booth with bottles of hot sauce, then cut to belt motors raising and lowering banks of lights. A plane takes off. It's a CRJ. A man and a woman both scream. A trailer park in Georgia. In Italy, a carved grotesque on the side of a building smiles. A bit of punny dialogue. A row of martinis along a bar. Shots of more planes taking off and landing, carrying Travellers. A fast boat speeding across a lake past a houseboat. Somewhere in the Middle East, a man smokes a cigarette. Lots of women screaming....

Unfortunately, parts of the posts from earlier on in the tread is mixed up and not in order numerically (at least not on my PC). So the tread is hard to follow at times. Maybe a job for the moderator(s) to fix?

Apparently, it is illegal NOT to smile in Pocatello, Idaho. Anyone from Pocatello here that can tell us what the real story is???
