[nagdu] Parking places

Mon Oct 25 17:25:07 UTC 2010

Yah, I understood, we have both kinds where I live In Winnipeg.  The first 
time Payton jumped up into one of those planters I laughed so hard, along 
with several by-standers, I darn near did a little watering myself.  No 
doubt my outburst convinced Payton that such behaviour was quite Okay and 
since it has only happened about four times in nine years, I figure it ain't 
really a big issue.

And Payton with a gladder bladder.
