RAINBOW

RAINBOW

occasionally, but it isn't often they

Yeh-but | would like it better if
somebody wiuld tie hot towel around
the BARRIERS face so he couldn't bonn

onions and weak logic.

whisper.

motion
| am always moving.

we had em just the same. And, for
that we are grateful, as we sit N 81
lent retrospect, thinking over and ov-
err of the fun we had, idly sorting the
unpaid bills.
