Do you remember. Back in the 50's the "daring" motion pictures were few and far between. In '55, a picture called "Male and Female" was released. One had to be 12 years old to get in.

G'day!. Problem is, dust getting into my Mazda T 3500 m/home. It was two years ago, while working with Blazeaid in N/W Qld, the trips in and out of the properties, which still in drought, caused my "home" to get very dusty.
