LANDON! REALLY! Folks, this man came to my house on Christmas (Andy cooked a lot
of the dinner). He is NOT creepy! He is cute. Women reading the net should be
advised to go to Mr. Dyer's place of business, demand to see him and then
playfully molest him (well, ask him first, he is shy). We have a "cute alert"
condition in Silly Valley.
