Reckless Driving as well as lack of pedestrian senses on the rise

Kavya in a new Haircut
Day before yesterday (June 1, 2007) we finally got Kavya’s ear ring or whatever that wire was removed and though I wanted to substitute them with the new ear rings I got for her, the hole was just to small so got her some small ear rings….
