It is so sad that no comments were made on the beautiful pictures that Mr. Day posted in earlier blogs while there were so many comments pertaining to Dr. Holliday. Perhaps we could use this example in a plus delta and Mr. Day could then plan his blog accordingly.

I love the pictures on the blog!

I especially like the bumper sticker that says, "Mu kid is in in detention for beating up you honors student." Funny the things people put on their cars.
