I am very lucky. I suggest finding the Museum of Natural History, at night, and making the small trek up the rocky hill. It's absolutely lovely!<BR>
I actually grew up in Bakersfield and in Oklahoma.

I forgot... scqueen, read my poem Red Moon, and you'll notice I am describing Morro Bay and the museum. I love incorporating details that can give away location.<BR>

~Torn At The Seams~ is amazing!  Is it really a work in progress?  I have no suggestions for improving it.  Oh, and sometimes you just have to follow your heart.  It can be broken, but why pass up the chance of having it swell?  I was hurt once, but I also got to experience love, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.  So keep following your heart!!!  Keep writing, too.  You are fabulous!<BR>

By jove I think I've got it.  Link away!  (Well, not *too* indiscriminately)<BR>
<BR>
I hope the algorithm I used to figure out what's a link is ok.  Baically it looks for http stuff and then makes a link til it gets to a quote, whitespace, or the end of the string.
