Hello Zingy her name Merica?. After all, you should know she is your sister-in-law. I would list as Merica tomorrow except RHC objects.
St. Augustine is nice! Got a great crocodile/alligator zoo there- every species of Croc, alligator and Cayman in the world there... they also do a crocodile show where they have trained crocs (or was that an alligator show? Don't remember). Been camping at the beach there- Anastasia Island. Great Place! France surrendered? That never happened again did it?
