playing out this month - january 2008
Happy green Year from prized Cleveland, Ohio; The turf of extract and Money, the Garden of Allah, the Navel of the World and Valhalla all rolled into lone long burning, turn over submit rolled, consciousness expanding, muted well-to-do, spaced out fiber ditty-wah-ditty thang (as we reply here in the 'hood).
