Look at the recent GTG pics and you'll see them in all their color. Of course, this was the Spring GTG. They change colors with the seasons.

Was it the use of "sister" and "DD" in the same sentence that captivated you?


BTW, Powerpigs 300TD is a thing of beauty.

Would you believe me if I told you that it didn't cross my mind once?

Damn, pig, you're right up the street! Welcome to the not-so-scenic, and not-so-beautiful, self-professed Insurance Capital of the World. Humid enough for ya? I assumed you're here on business.

Today is essentially shot but I'll see if I can switch some things around tomorrow. Unless you have some wheels and can get yourself a few miles south to CT's oldest town and largest historic district. There are some historic houses/museums open to the public if you're into that sort of thing. And yes, Washington did sleep here with Rochambeau. Well, not together just at the same time. I could certainly disappear for an hour or so for a cool beverage or two at the local tavern or give you a tour of our world headquarters or both.

What's your schedule like tomorrow?

Absolutely! I believe it trampled your mind multiple times like an angry mob.
