Want to be back in the mountains Under skies of gray ... The sun glares down its hatred Without a caul of clouds I can relate to this. While I very much enjoyed my sojourn in Texas, I prefer the seasons in Massachusetts. And I don't think much of the graveyards Too manicured, too new I agree with Drac!

Only a single round. And, thought Garfield, upon seeing the Baron spin out of sight: Hey that reminds me \ Tonight's lasagna night!" Keep it real, Garfield!
