Sure it can. It can even happen in Littleton, a town of 35,000 near the dusty-tan foothills of the Rockies, just southwest of Denver. It was once a small prairie town of gold rushers and traders, where the biggest scare was getting hit by a prairie dog. Now it's a stretched finger of the big city, with aspiring families who don't lock their doors, enclaves with names like Coventry and Raccoon Creek and Bel Flower, scrubland turned into golf courses, houses than run anywhere from $75,000 to $5 million or so.

...chalices and other kinds of liturgical equipment. The reliquaries were done at the highest pitch of craft, mostly by goldsmiths whose names have not survived.

Love of the queen!) and "crown" (middle and ring fingers held in, other three extended) being thrown around all over the place, on top of some heavy beats provided by Sasha Costanza-Chock, who mixed the soundtrack. King Tone, the current leader of the Nation, then talks about his own sense of transformation and that of the Nation, saying that it forces young people to ask themselves "Who are You?
