Though a great first effort, it seems you have too much time on your hands. It's tax season, and you're goofing around on them thar interwebs that AlGore helped to build, before he discovered global worming.

A fitting retrospective. I broke down at least twice just watching it. Many thanks.

Move over Martin Scorsese. This has Oscar written all over it. When will it hit the theaters?

Absolutely brilliant. And I even like Erik.

I really do miss former commissioner Mildred Schwab. I wonder how many times she's rolled over in her grave from Sten's antics alone?

Bottom line, as I watched, a different soundtrack kept pop-up ballooning in the vacuum of my mind created where all my attention was gone away, to be looking back at dreams of doing which mostly got jarred broken by barking dogs.
If you produce requests, here's my nominee as a subject -- June 12, 1915 -- to challenge your scoping skills.

looks like Erik's choice of presidential candidate didn't pay off.
Obama/Edwards 2008?

That little creep will never be out of a job, he can put on a Tuxedo and stand on wedding cakes. Every man in this city is nuts over that guy.

I think I just coughed up a little Stenball.
Parting thoughts:
Build a condo, save a child.
Fast free everything for everyone.*
If you can't afford it, fu%(in' finance it.
Getting dirty money out of politics, one pothole at a time.
*Taxpayers excepted.
