Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Go to Italy and tell them you'd like some extra gravy with your pasta. Let me know what boat they put you on when they ship you out. Second offense gets you another boat ride for a nap with all your favorite Mediterranean fish.
I live in the South brother. Id never leave the country for gravy!

Of course, if a bunch of Italians came over here asking for tomato sauce I'd probably feed them to the Gulf fish which are meaner and have bigger teeth.
 
You must not have had true Italian gravy. Ragu of the shelf at your local supermarket is sauce. 😉
I know they referred to it as "gravy" in The Sopranos and that's good enough for me!

and you also make sure your back never faces the door when seated!
I also seem to remember something about chainsaws, shower stalls and shower curtains!

Actually we're right on time. All of our watches and alarm clocks worked without fail.
Your lucky, everyone wishes they would end Daylight Savings Time.
 
Not us. Daylight Savings Time suits us just fine.
I’m sure it does. It feels like every couple of months I’m turning the clocks forward or back.
