At the time I started the NYC meet ups, Sam Flax had one of the better displays. I have to say that their selection has gotten smaller each time we go for the meet ups in that they won't have the latest binders or they don't have some WellPlannedLifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14639851771653623399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-82843681597005279542014-02-14T16:09:30.413-05:002014-02-14T16:09:30.413-05:00What a strange place Australia is - we have gone f...What a strange place Australia is - we have gone from Bushfire Alerts and a bushfire burning out of control to flood warnings and partial closure of the major highway between Whyalla and Cowell almost overnight.
