One is a template site thru I-House which is GREAT and I manage my visibility on Google weekly.

Somethings look so simple.  The story which happens to be true, shows that on occasion, life can be more complicated, or perhaps we are more stupid than we know. Using my nautical skills I approached the bobbing tire.  A rope had been provided by the Rickets to lasso the miscreant tire so that it could be pulled to shore, but something was wrong.  As I approached the tire the wind started to blow.  Placing the rope through the rubber toroid should have been simple but something was blocking the effort.  At first it looked like a wheel or perhaps a hubcap.  Try as I might, I could not put he rope through the hole.  As I turned the tire around around I noted a small arm gracefully extend from... 06/14/2010
