Well, Mladen and others who are concerned, I can not go to Shiloh tomorrow
because my sister needs the Nissan Sentra for her to take a drug test at her
new job at Aqua Glass (at least I hope she WAS hired by Aqua Glass) so I can
not download the pictures and I will be very fortunate if I am even allowed
to go to Wal-Mart with some money to develop some pictures for scanning on
that computer in Shiloh, let alone if my grandmother is actually at her house.
I am currently seeking the lyrics of some old Boston songs so I will not be
back here for a few hours.
