Hello n a very good morning to you all....

Nice weather out there. Not as chilly as yesterday. Enjoyed the cool breeze, hitting on my face, while driving on the Gulf road....with some (oldies) music, in the back-ground. Ahhhh....this is life.

Anyone using the Gulf road today, near the National Assemly, betta brace urself, for some serious traffic jams n diversions. Not only the cops, but the whole security apparatus...is out there, in full force...with their M-60 mounted Humvees, Tahoes, Yukons and wat not. The Q80 Parliament kicks off today....with their newly elected members.

So wats happening? Or shud I say...wat happened? Did ur fiances n brides (crtsy: Steele), like the Valentine's gift, u gave them or was it a flop?

A big wave to all.

Good morning, Jony Gere! How are you?

I came by the Gulf Road. Saw nothing of the sort that you have mentioned. Maybe I was a bit early.

Valentine's day? Hmmmm...marketing gimmick and a day to let those raging hormones roam free, if you ask me. But what do I know? I am like that bumper sticker: "Don't follow me...I am lost."

:-)

>>Quote

Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards.

<<Unquote

source: wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine's_Day)


Another one of those quaint habit's consigned to the dustbin of history.
*Sigh*
Is nothing sacred anymore?

Hmmmm...dishes and wishes. Nice rhyming sound to it.

LOL!
