I drove in and it was not a good choice.

Oh no, I bet it was not.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
We went to obviously what's no longer the Twin Towers. Yeah,
and we didn't go to but obviously it's right there,
the Empire State Building. I don't know why we didn't
if it was like closed that day or whatever, but
now eerie to think about as And that was my
visit to New York City.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (01:17):

a diminutive twenty one point one inches tall.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
He thinks it's great when people come to see him,
visit him everywhere and get him puddled and affection.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
He gets spoiled a lot, and very often because by
now he's also become quite well known.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Absolutely fantastic and truly wonderful that we've successfully managed for
Pumaco to now officially get the prestigious world record as
the smallest horse in the entire world.

A farm in France has been robbed of its entire
stock of fresh and frozen snails what they call a
real blow ahead of the holiday season. The place is
called Les Cargo des grandze Cruise in France. One hundred
and four thousand dollars worth of snails were taken, and
that's going to hurt the restaurant industry because they want
(03:30):
their snails for their fancy s cargo.

police tape, but the church is now saying, all right,

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
