or I don't know maybe the 1st amendment. Probably one of the two or a combination.

Happy valentines!!! 
I walk out onto the deck at midnight with Iron & Wine on the ipod. I look up at a the full moon and the stars through the partially clouded sky. I felt truely at peace... which is very rare these days... Life must have been so much better in an agricultural age. I just stayed out, let the tunes play and stare into space....

Its ok about the thread. I know you were just trying to help. Sorry if I was bitchy about it. Guess I'm a little defensive.
