  3. If you parachute into the Alamo from a helicopter while reading the bible on the way down to save someone's life and break a bone doing it, that's several things you could cross off that list! Just sayin'...

  4. "Just David" --- I wonder what your mind is like without the drugs. That was too funny - and so well thought out.
    Thanks for the visit and suggestion. Um, I'll mull it over.
