Re: [Cz-L] Ringplatz Poster

Dear All,
  You are all right . You are so very practical. And so invincibly right.
    Your arguments - as solid as rock.
      What I do is dreaming. Wishful thinking. What is wrong with that ?
        I dont expect anything from the Czernowitz City administration.
           Nothing at all .
             Mimi reminds us that we no longer live there.
                 Thank you Mimi for the reminder.
                     Hardy
