Hi Mike, I guess this is your list? I've only been on it one day and got 8 emails having to do with some kind of argument about cookies.

I looked at the pictures on your website and couldn't help but wonder why you folks don't plant some trees. thanks, Lance Groundwater Valdez United State of Alaska ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Clouston" <mike@mikeclouston.co.uk> To: <ORCADIA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, December 08, 2003 1:45 AM Subject: Re: [<orcadia>] Kirkwall's Lights > Hello Tammy > > Welcome to the list.
