I am looking for an online source of the image which shows 4 or 5 English

talking about immediately. S

There were no minimums, they were fine with pleating a yard or less.

Tangier Is has an airport & has had one for 40+ years. I've flown in
there. Small planes, mind you. It's also accessible by anyone with
a motorboat. You didnt need a satellite TV to pick up "foreign" or
"polluting" accents. There was radio available and broadcast TV, too.
None of these places

the pleating, catching each interior fold. There would be one or
multiple rows of this stitching, unseen from the outside, which would
