Yes, I read the book, and have read more of what Nicholas Sparks has written.
A longtime friend of mine, another Bernie, at Emerald Isle, NC, met Sparks at Christmas at a party in Swansboro, NC.

The occasion was a party by a multimillionaire who has a home there, drumming up funds for the Free Medical Clinic in Morehead City Bernie spearheads, on the Board and where he contributes a lot of hours of his personal time.

*LadyX hangs head in abject failure*

However, would it help if I posted a photograph of one of our Evil Occupiers from that Iraqui-America Freedom Alliance website??

Don't they look happy! I'm thinking the soldier is saying to himself, "I'm just doing my job".

Okay - happy tears now! That's the best kind anyway.

It's troubling to see that Alaska is still having problems with wildfire.
We're not having any problems like that in this area of the South with it raining every single day for a month!
