All utilities should be buried and all traffic lights should be suspended from decorative poles, and all streets should be coble stone, and all businesses should have charming curb appeal, and I should have the sovereign right to to destroy all rickety warped faded privacy fences with a flame thrower, and every community should look like Pella, Iowa... <i>(sigh)</i> just my $.02Cathy M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08107932375538192094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7307114766025313443.post-20484311015523026602011-04-17T12:39:29.244-07:002011-04-17T12:39:29.244-07:00The winter has really held on this year in our par...The winter has really held on this year in our part of the country, too (Montana).
