[Dixielandjazz] Dixieland Movies - Molly

[Don Ingle]

Well, if you build in a flood plain you can expect ...well, duh, floods!
Best to stay up on the mountain. That way it's just earthquakes and rolling
boulders to worry about!
I am on a moraine...fancy name for a high sand pile. We will meet our fate
when the weeds take over, then catch fire!
