It seems that every post below yours follows the

Is is possible to make your avatar smaller?
Not that I care too much, just making a suggestion as
mine was too small, and sap made it bigger.


Glad to see it happened. Thanks.

Note, however, the posts above yours date from 2008.
Many here do go way back, way back.
Lots just died in the '05 - '06 time period.

Obviously Saparris has not found you here yet.

Hi Enigma:
Interesting new avatar. Makes a "point".

Ah, me thinks I see a "green man" in an avatar!
Could I be right??? Love the history, if so.

My first degringolade occurred shortly after my birth, and it's been one degringolade after another ever since.

I wish I could become inured to snow. I've lived in the
Plains all my life and I still detest the stuff, especially
this year: 45 inches of the stuff in my yard at last
measuring.

WOW O WOW!
That is magnificent. Largest free-standing in the world.
Quite impressive, and should be for such a tragedy.
Oh, our wars are something else, in history.
