'ManlyMen'?  Is that anything like an AlphaMale?  And no, I don't
think I know what it is like to snuggle up to an AlphaMale, although
blade is kind of nice... ;-)  big shoulders....

Well, they are called 'rims' because it is a solid cliff that runs
clear around the north side of town...  (Let me show you a Montana
sunset sometime...)

Well, yeah!  Don't even *try* to tell me you didn't 'park' when you
were growing up!  We used to go up on the rims and 'Watch the
Submarine races.'  Billings used to be under an inland sea, so it is
kind of appropriate... ;-)

What?  'unbiased testimony'?  'aesthetic parameters'?  I think you
have been working too hard!  :-)

Hey!  No fair!  Just cause the windows were all steamed up doesn't
mean I don't stop and take the time to watch a beautaceous sun set!
It's just that I keep hitting my head on the steering wheel.... >;-)

Sheep?  In the trunk?  Is not!  That's just the muffler making funny
noised....  (I may be cheap, but I'm easy!)
