sugaree reads the thread, arises from her seat, lifts up the edge of the window shade and peers out at **downtown Baltimore**. Looks fine to her. Sits back down at the computer and continues being six kinds of nuts.

For example, she refers to herself in the third person a lot.

1975-83. I loved lacrosse, and was there for the world games in 1982. Spent 4 years there before they rehabbed the inner harbor, and 4 years after. What a difference!

Sorry I hurt people’s feeling about this town.

Its obvious that we have different expectations from the places we live in. Like I said, I _knew_ this place would disappoint me even before I landed up here. Its just after 3 years here, its really beginning to bite.

Weiddave, Myrr21, sugaree: Im happy for you that you love the town you live in. You probably are more cheerful guys than me to see the beauty in this place.

The next time I play host, I will be asking everyone to take the AMTRAK.

Myrr21: People arguing. In public. Heaven forfend  
But it wasnt any public argument!!! The guys, two hunks, one looking very unstable, were arguing about a Barbie doll!!! Dont tell me that doesnt sound weird!
