 We Could Use A Little Vision,
Pride, And Resolve Ourselves
- Friday, January 31, 2003

by: Richard Neuman
If you read nothing else about the American invasion of Iraq go over this article

Way" was a complete bust in the old West now it would appear gunslingers and
sheriffs are about to take over the world.

Here is your chance to visit Tisdale's public library. There is a need for a word
of caution, if you are accessing this site using a dial up connection this page will
take a will to download as it includes a 1.7 MB QuickTime VR of the library's interior.
This also is a test page using a ten inch rather than an eight inch format. I would
appreciate feedback on this new wider design.
