One of my favorite episodes was what I thought the earlier peach eating comments were directed towards... That's the only show I miss since having dropped HBO, but they were all repeats anyway, with the best segments deeply ingrained in my fantasies! ;-)<br /><br />Yes, I'm on my 2nd large glass of wine... <br /><br />Which reminds me - I was looking at wines at the store today and came across one called "Argyle"! A year ago, I'd have wondered who would name a $20+ bottle of wine after a pair of socks...? Now, I went ahead and spent the money because I knew it must be smooth, tasteful, with many intriguing nuances!

Where I live in Kentucky, a Southwest wind would be coming from the direction of Nashville, Tennessee, and a Northwest wind from Nashville, Indiana. <br /><br />However, if you were speaking of heading.....<br />Guess I better not go there. <br /><br />And ClearAyes, you are correct.
