At my wife's work, there is a cat with some sort of malady that literally looks like Bill the Cat. When I said that, she couldn't recall the character.

We worked through it.

Bloom County going out was a flippin' crime.

I just saw that Calvin and Hobbes strip yesterday. After flushing the toilet, Calvin walks in and tells his mom:

"I'm finished with my bath."
"Hmm, that was quick."

I think both Calvin & Hobbes and Bloom County were great. But it was dissapointing both writers quit the strips. Schultz never would have quit Charlie Brown after 5 years.

Took this photo while I was on a dive about a year ago. Did not realize I had the DiveMaster in the frame until I viewed it on the boat.

I think it's a cool shot.

Google search and change often

This one is because in three weeks we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ although most parents lie to their children about some bunny.

Watterson, who does Calvin and Hobbes, didn't actual "quit". He quit having the strip in the papers because "he believed that the artistic value of comics was being undermined, and that the space they occupied in newspapers continually decreased and was subject to arbitrary whims of publishers". Pretty tough stuff for a cartoonist, no?

Bill Watterson




And yes, that was a "quick bath" LMAO.

New avatar called for.

New avatar called for.

Since being slammed for not following California's Title 24 (like most contractors around here), I changed my avatar to a "Stimpy". This should be an appropriate badge of shame. :cry:

My avatar is a picture taken last year of my Marine son taken in Fallujah, Iraq. He is an infantryman with 1st Battalion, 3rd Marines and was part of the "clearing" of Fallujah. Not sure if you can see the captured AK47 he is holding? He also has his M249 S.A.W.

He is currently in Afghanistan and should be home this summer.

Not sure where mine came from. Was e-mailed to me by my younger brother! I have a diesel pick-up truck with a 6-speed manual tranny that is somewhat of a hobby to me!

This is how I drive it!!!

I have a pic I would like to use for my avatar but I don't know how to reduce it to 80 x 80 pixels. I have Windows XP Media Center along with the standard "My Pictures" program. If anyone could tell me how to do it I'd sure appreciate it.
