In my book, one of the topics I address: IS CDS a circus? <br /><br />In other words, how far can you "evolve" until you are no longer a "circus," but something else???<br /><br />I am tickled the Big Apple has diversified their menagerie a little, with a rodent and pig!<br /><br />Have a Top Texas day!Showbiz Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08921904778000552196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845215.post-24967593090290969212011-10-04T06:08:58.291-07:002011-10-04T06:08:58.291-07:00Dave,
