| Yoda Poohbah~ | Re: A day at the shop LOL, i had the police at my door once, asking what i was growing~ i said coral, and invited them in. a pot of coffee and an hour later they left. came back a few days later,,,with friends to see the tank. moral of the story Robert; have coffee and doughnuts on hand when the police show up, then send them to see what bigfoot is actually growing in that "moss" tank LOLOL
