174. Wow, what's not to admire about a woman who can still work in her 90s
Monmouth. Miss Louise sounds cool. I've always learned a lot from people well over 60. Under 60, not much. ;)

BTW, a few black people I know are disappointed in Obama because they thought he would see that laws against illegal immigration would be enforced better. They say all the illegals work cheaper (construction, flooring, roofing, cleaning, restaurants) and keep wages down and unemployment for blacks is harder to get.
