Plus, it looks like just about every other midwestern mid-century ranch house.<BR/><BR/>Horace - yes, we shall have to compare notes. Though OP is very, very sprawling, and I went to 12 years of Catholic schools, so chances are I didn't cross paths with your friend.<BR/><BR/>Janice -- although they weren't quite as big, they were just as verdant.

But I just took a little wander down memory lane and looked at the apartments I lived in during grad school and the adjunct year. Damn, did I ever actually live in those places? They just look so disconnected from me! (You're all lucky I can't figure out how to copy the picture like you did or I'd inflict them all on you!)<BR/><BR/>And I love my porn name - it's Hawkins Sudbury.
