Hi Eric,
I had a small billboard once, that really brought in business. bad
business.It was about two blocks from "dead beat city"! I got some good
work, but rough customers.Perhaps a picture of Gary M, in his boxers,could
highlight my bulletin board.He could not sue me unless he wants to come
South, or Sud! LOL
Merry Canadian Everything!!
