Little to none. They're still squawking. <BR/>Check out "AngryFrenchGuy" on my blogroll. He's a real piece of work, that one.tankmontrealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02303476618446125363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21285274.post-3363894940759018152008-10-05T11:55:00.000-07:002008-10-05T11:55:00.000-07:00No fair peeking!
