Some older courts still have these fossil "hash marks". Look for them. Collect them. Fossil hunting is an interesting hobby. And I was not talking about Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. when I was talking about fossils. I was thinking about him, but I wasn't talking about him.

I resember that remark. ROFLMAO and crying because the USA is losing 2-0 to Canada.
