Sandy, it does take a special person to care for people who are in their last days. I can imagine you had to "poofed" up some to be Father Christmas but he was always my favorite character in the book. It was a real shock when I first saw the Alastair Sim version and he opened his cloak to reveal the two children huddled beneath it.
Nice picture of that pine tree for a Christmas card but I'm glad you're getting to put up with the snow and not me.
Ken, all that stuff will turn up when you stop looking. It never fails. I really wouldn't worry too much about getting audited anyway. In almost 15 years of having my own business, I never got audited, and some of my deductions, while not illegal, certainly played the gray area.
Barry, nice cat pics but that 'Vette is a beauty. I hope you get over the sniffles soon.
Phillip, I would have been at the side of the road in tears if I had seen "my" car headed the other way. The Cuda wasn't a bad substitute though.
Jeffrey, some gifts are more difficult to finish than others.
Rex, the Loctite I've found that has been bad is the stuff that comes in a brush top but is purple in color. That stuff won't hold anything. The gel has worked OK but not as good as ZAP. The stuff in the black top brush bottle is fantastic and cheap on top of it.
A sign can sometimes work against you, as you say, since it is proof you knew your dog was dangeroud. The only real defense is high enough fences and a good, strong enclosure for the dog. Even then, it's still up to a jury if you get sued. That is the heart of the problem - juries that feel they are giving away money from insurance companies that doesn't cost anyone anything. This really is a great time for camping down here. I was at Fort Touluse last weekend and really wished we were in the RV. I'm hitting the road with that thing this spring come hell or high water.
It's a beautiful day here again, sunny with a temperature of 73. Looks like we may get a little rain Tuesday but not a gully washer, so that will be OK. I finally found a Woddland Scenics roofers figure kit. It has been discontinued but, for some strange reason, Hobby Lobby not only had it, but it was only $7! You never get a deal at that joint. I had a scene set up on top of City Hall for the roofers so it all finally came together.
And we got a bunch of seminars to do today---and Monday now
. Now to get back to the Depot. Man, the last two months have been hell trying to stay with it without some interruption.
