Only 20 miles away, but too busy since I'll be on vacation the following week.  Still hope to win the raffle for the Sipe-Sumner compass in absentia

Compared to Rich, yes. I was too far forward  making an illusion that I was taller than reality.. Sorry 'but that.

He's an old hippie and he don't know what to do.................................

Back when we were youngsters it was recognized as attempting to avoid being part of the "normal" crowd if you let hair grow wild on and around your face.  Some of us continue to embrace that pogonophile choice in our later years.  Four for four in that photo.

New word of the day.

In my case it has nothing to do with style or culture. It is vastly more convenient to trim it every few days than to shave any day I go out, and it hides some of the ugly.

It helps to keep some of that 100% DEET concoction off your skin, too.

As the picture shows, my wife and I had a nice visit with Brad and his wife on our way home. Thanks for taking time to welcome us, Brad.

Some days I feel like it, though.

The 93 comes from the county number of my hometown, which number used to appear on car licence plates. I used the handle on line ages ago and kept it for the forum.
