The service there did stink. Our Counter peep was doing the best he could
with the manager lady biting his head off the whole time.

Those buildings were nice Scott. I like the Water Processing Plant. You
might want to try making the Fuel storage tank more cirular by getting a
compass and making a cirlce of wahtever size you want, then building inside
the circle's edge. It works for me.

Hehehehhe. Me and Kai took his words "You can have anything to drink that
you want" out of context. We both had Choc. Shakes.

The monorail derailed in the oddest place. Right by the glass in a space
where nothing would snag it. We theorized people were trying to make it
derail or that some peeps ran by, because it THUMPED like nuts up there.

Me and Peter were making spaceships of the mighty Star Trek. We made an
Enterprise TOS, a red klingon cruiser, a romulan warbird, a borg cube, a
cardassin cruiser, and a red Tie fighter. I made some various animals too
and Peter made a green cat. I made a blue skeleton too.

Soldiers of the TDF never invade anything unless they are provoked. I am
sure it is those EVIL Confed sioliders! ; )

Eh, too much work. Even with that, it will still look blocky. I will wait
for 16 stud Droid Escape type parts. : )

Good! I can go home and work on my Shell Station then!

Yes, Scott's brilliance and cluminess comes through yet again! Like my
favorite saying goes, it takes REAL talent to be as clumsy as I am!

Thanks!
