Comments and Quotes

When I was little, it never would have occurred to me to draw a picture with clouds in the sky that looked like stripes and streaks, because they didn't. How often do we see big puffy clouds now? The only kind I ever used to draw. Hardly ever. They're all spray-on. - Amber Salvati - 29

"Let there be light!" - God - 13

"They say it is safe to be in your car in a thunder and lightning storm? Do not believe it! A bolt of lightning struck the truck in the front and then in the back, jumped through the front living room, dining room, out the window, took my car and then out through the Florida room. The truck is more the likely not able to be repaired and my car smells like fried wires, both are dead. The good thing is the house did not burn and we were not injured. After all Florida is the lightning capitol of the USA!" - Patricia Allen - 46
