(53,661 posts)8. Ah, I was wondering since it looked like the same place as the 90 year old man in another thread.
They must be so happy to have these jobs actually making something here in the USA.
All the M$M showed this year was the GOP flea circus. Please, Iowa, give the nod for Obama and the Democrats in 2012!
Thanks again Kadie for taking the time to post these, especially with the descriptions. Every place has a different feeling to it with different faces but the same love.
