  5. Sorry for the comment spam - but isn't it strange Lenin is pointing almost exactly in the direction of where the wind is taking the fire/smoke!? That is s-u-r-r-e-a-l.

    And the USA just traded spies with Russia today in a clandestine operation in Vienna!

    Alphabet City on fire, spy trading with Russia... 1983 called and wants its year back!

    If it's 1983... Is that why I keep hearing Every Breath You Take on the radio?
