    Most likely about half of the libs that get all lathered up about Hitler references drive VWs and don't think anything of it.

    I'm in awe! And, I've seen these in the flesh . . . or, drab! Exquisitely impressive models.

    Wow! An update. Kewl. (Be still, my heart.) That window insert & frame looks great! Glad to see you got some bench time in on this one, Chris. It's been feeling neglected. It even made a call to the Lonely Army Funny Car Hotline . . .

    I fought that battle for years, too, Harry. I feel your pain. I finally gave it up when the cost of health care for the family outstripped what I was earning after self-employment taxes, etc. And heaven-forbid the self-employed consultant even thought of putting some $$ away for college funds for children or even some respectable savings for the future. The other aggravating factor was the feast-or-famine nature of it all. You're either too busy to keep up (and clients don't like that) or you're sitting around, wondering if the phone will ever ring again (because clients didn't like it when you were too busy to maintain turn-around expectations when you're too busy). And, the famine always tracked with whatever 'new guy' just hung out his shingle . . . clients feel so much pressure to keep expenses down that they try the 'new guy' who bills a few dollars less . . . until his incompetence, inexperience, or inability burns them. Then, you're busy again until the next 'new guy' comes along. Tiring. Very tiring. And, the stress factor ends up using up your energy.

    How many rounds were expended?

    Great pix, Ed. Love 'em. Wish we had more of them (Road Runners) around here, but there's something about all the parking lots, traffic, and such that encourages them to stay out in the desert most of their time. Hey, Scott! No harm, no foul. I get some tongue-in-cheek - - - it's just hard to see through the computer! I pretty much figured you knew they are for real. But, you know, Jackalopes are real, too! Despite the rumors to the contrary, they are real! That's what we hunt when submarines and snipes are scarce.
