CB and Linus are such a deep pair that they're idols to a perfect
relationship. Friends who compliment each other and are always there to
listen. I think Schulz (sp?) hit on a very deep vein in creating and
developing these two that I can say that he's set a precedent for people.
I try to live up to a cB or linus, and I try to find people like them.
They raditate goodness.
