That's H.I. McDunnough (you can call him Hi) talking there. And what he means is almost exactly what the bug means: early marital bliss. No talk of kids, no real money, and those beautiful Arizona sunsets. <BR/>Shortly thereafter, Ed tendered her badge.Curat Lexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11520702737974270387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12286901.post-1127670028914651052005-09-25T13:40:00.000-04:002005-09-25T13:40:00.000-04:002005-09-25T13:40:00.000-04:00Freedom From Blog should claim the phrase "jello salad days," since, as I recall, his own were jiggly in the jelly.
