This is the worst bit about being a registered Libertarian, no jury duty. I'll never be able to get all jury nullification with them.

Your fox visitor is totally cool HLJ, and your sighting is too SG.

I love foxes, my parents not so much. They have a little family of them picking of their specially breed chooks one by one. It breaks my Mums heart.

We go there for dinner most Friday nites, last weekend when my headlights hit the verandah...there was Mummy fox n 4 pups eating the cat food.

Top band? Is that a promotion within your band or another band, like an all star band?

There are four bands (in order from top to...least top...=x)

Wind Ensemble, Symphonic, Concert A and Concert B.

WE is for the students whom 'show the up most in musical ability and all that fancy stuff, and Concert B is for the students who can't play the Bb scale which is the first thing learned. and Symphonic and A are for those in between.

but each year you try out with music that was given to you, and you play off for the director. Then s/he decides from your yearly performance, your previous performance, if you are an upperclassman and how well you played the try out music as far as musicality and all that jazz. and then s/he places you in a band from there.

So you made WE, congratulations. Very cool.

UH, "top to...least top"? Are you planning a career in politics?

Every day I come to this thread empty handed...

I'm bringing nothing to the party...

I go away quietly, disturbing no one, unseen by all.

I should try harder.

ok

Today I had a hot shower. Not only did that make me happy, it makes everyone around me happy too.
