He also told me that a snipe is a small, gray mammal.<BR/>I don't believe much of what he says, nowadays.<BR/>: )Susan Gets Nativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00216170589750418861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-36683964263127712212007-10-11T17:24:00.000-05:002007-10-11T17:24:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Annie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-79029081681176939872007-10-10T22:43:00.000-05:002007-10-10T22:43:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Annie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-20460246956454045612007-10-09T10:03:00.000-05:002007-10-09T10:03:00.000-05:00You are one sucessful snipe hunter!

Funny: I don't see as many of them as I used to. <BR/><BR/>A hunting of the snark, on the other hand, would hardly be necessary.
