(I read all of them through last week, before I started commenting.) I <i>will</i> be coming back around to offer <a href="http://www.insearchofgiants.com/2010/01/commenting-on-silhouette.html" rel="nofollow">my keep/tweak comment</a>, but I didn't want anyone to snark. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />Aerin (#236)<br /><br />BTW, it's perfectly fine if you still want to snark, but this way you can choose a more appropriate subject, like Sarah Palin's hair or the enigmatic career of Justin Timberlake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-49966751911676130542010-01-17T08:41:14.221-05:002010-01-17T08:41:14.221-05:00Oh, but won't hypothermia set in?
