He knows where he is and what he should do, and if he is poor it doesn't seem to worry him. Now I'm curious about what Le Seuer peas can be. I wonder if they're what we called processed peas here - a kind of a brilliant and inhuman green.

It had no plumbing, no AC, etc. He did plug it in to the house and so he could do the two things he wanted to do, smoke and watch TV.<br />A few years later one of my sisters bought him a single wide in a park on the Oregon coast where she lived. Two years later we buried him from lung cancer.<br />I never really understood it. It had to have been some deep dark pain he was never able to resolve. He did like me and a couple of our sisters, but he would never talk about his pain and he threatened to cut our hands off if we ever tried to clean up that small RV.<br />I read about your neighbour with the cross and I cant help but think of Patrick.

As I recall, they had green dye in them. I know that from working in the cafeteria in the fifth grade. Lord. <br />Yep. The sasangua is a camellia. It's a different variety all together and blooms earlier than the camellia Japonica. It's smaller too. <br />I watched that other Gervais series and it was very good.
