When an artist tells you to hang his paintings in a certain place and to keep the window shades closed it's not always because he's a fussy ass.

Indeed sad to hear about Motorola leaving the area.
I actually like the flavor a habanero adds to sauces but can't imagine what one of the hottest would do.
What is that local salsa? Mrs. Fletcher's? They have a habanero that is muy caliente.
