Fill it with crushed ice for a full snow scene!

I think the safest (and most ethical) thing to do these days is commission someone and print locally. :/

Thought I'd found him in the MySpace era but it wasnt him.
At any rate, point being I just remember how kind, patient, civil and helpful the guy was and I truly hope he has gone on to great things.
...and sometimes I wonder if he's returned to York in the hope of seeing any of us.

I keep thinking about a giant (almost literally) I knew in 1999.
He was a Mexican summer student of law here.
Spoke very little English at the time and worked in the same Italian place as me as a pot washer.
Literally introduced me to Mexican (and related) foods.

Why not (given dev background and current learning) do some kind of interactive learning website?!
