Look at you with the right answer... A great man once taught me that. Don't look for a location to make a certain set. Find sign and put the type of set there that the location calls for.

If we have another season like last year, I think I'll be making a lot more flats, with chopped grass for a covering. Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.
