[SkateDC] This Week's Skates

[Carl Ford]

Heck, you could have states whose names are in bands who were popular  
once upon a time:

Alabama
New York (Dolls)
Georgia (Satellites)
Kentucky (Thunder)
Kansas

Or popular songs

(Rocky Top) Tennesee
(Way to go) Ohio
California (Several here)
Georgia (Several here)
New York (New York)

Or who knows what else.

Which only means that there is no good reason to do the same skates  
over and over and over again except laziness.

A belief which leaves no place for doubt is not a belief; it is a
superstition.
