Rita Hayworth always reminds me of the Shawshank Redemption.  heehee

And my sister works for Bank of America.  Not that that has anything to do with anything...

i was around for the earthquake, but nothing else.....

I was in San Francisco when the last big earthquake hit L.A., and then I was in L.A. when that last big one hit San Francisco.  Talk about good timing.

Now I'm in Texas, and only have to worry about tornadoes.  (You can run and hide from a tornado.)
