(insert mandatory on-topic statement to avoid charge of hijacking) Hey, good morning, **True** , here’s the refill. What’s a nice girl like you doing in a state like this one? I empathize with the departure from the Great White North, I did time at the west end of the Throughway myself. Back then I went by **Bill in the Buff** in my \*P days. Faint of heart, shock easily? well how about ::leans over to whisper:: (whisper, whisper, whisper, giggle, whisper, sly smile, whisper)? ::leans back:: And I promise to be gentle. 😃 ---

::guilty as charged with the hijack, apologies all around:: As a gentleman I always keep my promises. As a rouge, I always make people smile in spite of themselves. I need to get my passport as I am departing Dade for Broward in a few mins IRL. I will return after I clear customs on the way back this afternoon. Think sweet thought until, then. (or on the other hand…) ---
