Everyone,

It's been suggested that we write something by the decades. I'll do five choices this go around and next to get us all of the 1900's.

So, which decade would you like to write about?

I'm bumping this, because one of EL's harddrives crashed, so we're taking care of the poll thingy for him this week.

I'm shocked and awed that the Tango, the Titanic, Tax and Todel (erm...Model) T's haven't gotten any votes. ;)

Poll ends in five hours. Not used to seeing it so evenly spread.

Numbers are so low right now, we could end up with a 5-way tie, if four more people voted.
