Hey there grande351, I just realized you'd answered the Calif/Nevada post a long while ago and I'd missed it. Lo siento (Sorry). I left Calif back in 11/03 and have been living here in NV ever since. Tahoe is amazingly beautiful. The water is so pure that the colour is actually a reflection of the sky--blue for blue skies, gray for clouds, &c. The water level's down though; its fed by snow melt or rain. The Truckee River emanates from Tahoe, but just runs through Reno and empties into Pyramid Lake where it evaporates slowly (that's another weird lake that "turns over" once or twice a day from what I understand). I'm well south of the Truckee River (about 7 miles) in what are called the South Meadows area. It is a beautiful place right here and up at Tahoe (Mount Rose, which is the largest peak in the area, not that there are a lot to choose from, looms up on my SW). I'm lucky enough to live enough outside of the older parts of Reno so I have a park close by that is part wild (lots of sage brush, rabbits, the occasional raccoon, and a source of tumbleweed every fall!); on the down side, the city council hasn't seen fit to actually cement sidewalks everywhere in the neighborhood, even though they have saved the space by putting in the curbs, gutters and so on. As far as nature goes, its pretty good, but as far as competent local government goes, it leaves something to be desired, although having said that, it has been getting better since I moved here. Now, as far as Petaluma goes, last time I was there (2003), the main street where they did a lot of filming is pretty close to the way it was in the 70s, and if you ever get there, and if you're in the mind for it, you have to go to Old Chicago pizza for the best deep dish I've ever had! Its right there off the main drag on the 2nd floor of what was, once upon a time, a brothel that still has something of that "olde west" feel to it (i.e., creaky floors, squeaky doors and so on). Cheers

You guys are pretty cool. And I enjoy talking to all of you about random stuff.

LOL...actually she will be getting married next year sometime. I think I'm pretty mature for my age too...that's why in general I hang out with people older than me.

Well personally I think that Bush screwed up this country. Before Bush we were doing just fine (we weren't at war with anyone, weren't in any financial crisis) but now I'm worrying about things like if there will be any social security left over when I come of age (something I should not be worrying about this early). My mom is worrying about her 401K (and she's only 39). My sister's husband is getting deployed back to Iraq (for 15 months)...the day that my sister is supposed to give birth to their/her first child. I blame all of this on Bush. I'm hoping that now that we have somebody new in office, they can fix the financial crisis, pull the troops out of the middle east, and finally take care of the education system. Gawd if only I were president, but I will be satisfied with this one. The only reason that I didn't want McCain in office was because he is fairly old, and will probably die within his term. The last thing I want is to have Palin in office (what a nightmare that would be.) Personally I wanted Hillary Clinton to become Democratic nominee and then president. The shoot went well today. I ended up shooting both days (even though I wasn't supposed to) but that's because one of the other girls flaked at the last minute.

Hi m8, re your questions for Rob post. Didn't seem right me relping to a question you've posed to Rob, however I remember that there is one (there may be more) set only available on the alpha index of FTV Girls models namely Mona. That was a tiny set from April 2005 and might be the sort of thing you meant. Unfortunate I know but I think Mona was going to be a failure anyway somehow.
EDIT Just read your last post on the "Rob" thread and I now see what you mean.

I'm sure that Obama will put this nation back to the way it should be. Yep...I do love getting cards. My mom always gets me Halloween cards (though she didn't this year).

Hey you...thank you so much for the Halloween card. I always love getting cards for the (so called) minor holidays...even though Halloween to me isn't a minor holiday. But anyways thank you and thank you for the money to...it will go to good use...bills

Wow Tracy! A sexy Snow White AND a French Maid. What I wouldn't give to see that!!!
Glad to hear you had a great time.

I know, I F'ed up the date on the Gulf War. I thought about it after I sent the message.

Glad you liked it. Just a little correction the 1st Gulf was was 2 August 1990 – 28 February 1991 not 1992.

Halloween has started to pick up here and given it was a Friday night this year there was a pick of Halloween parties to go to. I decided to go as a sexy Snow White this year and my g/f Nic went as a French maid but during the night we decided to sneek off and swap costumes, that got a few looks when we got back in to the party.

I see from the music thread you like AC/DC (try this u-tube link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f1cwycSWq0)
