(Things at any rate always seemed a few degrees warmer and steamier than this.) <br /><br />And while on the subject: if you click on the top image the right side of the screen should reveal a lovely frosted Christmas tree, evidently touched by the brush of Mother Nature herself.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-48132775944526787072010-11-29T14:11:09.540-08:002010-11-29T14:11:09.540-08:00Funny, this made me think Lolita, and then the fir...Funny, this made me think Lolita, and then the first Ruscha reads I Pleade Insanity Because I'm Just Crazy About That Little Girl ....John B-Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01041221232768939991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-82760103846191362302010-11-29T06:52:24.324-08:002010-11-29T06:52:24.324-08:00Tom,
