And ya see, I guess I've noticed this because there's nuttin...

  9. Yes, so do we! but I do love this American version. .. . . .I think it much better depicts how I'm looking right now.... .. full head 'o steam.........

  14. Okay, okay....... . . the backyard doesn't look too demolished as yet - - we got all the railing off the old deck, but none of the floor boards....and we've been doing the most vile of the work: digging four HUGE, DEEP holes in which to sink the four new supports (the new deck is going to be a little bigger than this one). True heinosity. At least it is...
  15. I also need to take a clandestine shot of that Tribal Gym Man, to offer proof of his existence. I haven't seen him in a while. . . .... . ...gad, someone must have gotten a pic of him with their phone. Incredible conversation piece, a photograph like that.. .. . .
