Thank YOU both back for your mere existance and great inadvertant straight lines for me to feed off of.

Of course, Bruce is still coming in here with that "999"attitude, like some German in denial of his increased age. Hell, to you it's only another birthday, don't worry, 'cause there's lots more to come where that one came from and I'm sure every damn one of 'em stored there will get used. To us, of course, it becomes lots of justified bandwidth.

I like it better, though, when you peek into Mudchat from time to time and the screen flashes "Peace has entered the room". My good friend, you sure know how to make an entrance! An entrance to en-trance! It would take God, Him or Herself signing autographed pictures to top that! I'd love to be able to make an entrance on that scale.

It's always a short stay, and then it's "Peace has left the room and anyone still feuding with each other in there can go back to whatever they were doing. So you make a helluva enviable exit, as well!

Speaking of things, I just had to drive through the state of New Hamster and was thinking a "Now entering Exeter" sign might be a nice one to have.....

I'm outa here, Stage Left!






(and I don't feel like waitin' for the next Deadwood stage from Tombstone, so I'll put a new coat on Old Paint, 'cause it's gettin' a mite chilly out there and ride off in search of wherever they set the sun tonight. Westward, HO!....)
