DAVE....yay, mate....

On a lesser note...nip over to Devart....seems jark got booted

Hi Jafo!

about Jark - I saw that... inconcievable.
I was just talking with someone yesterday on another forum (different planet) about Jark. I was saying nice things about him. I'm shocked to see him being launched by his own site. You might recall I left DA about three years ago over an argument about white supremacists posting there. I've been away so long I'm surprised to see how much things have stayed the same too... it's comforting in a way.

awww David.  Truth is, around the time that happened real life caught up with me here.  Still am trying to sort stuff out. 

I think about you a lot; hope you are doing OK.

GM - I'm sorry to hear you had a bout with reality. I hope you are doing well now and still living in paradise out there in the Pacific Ocean. I have some challenges in my life too, I expect most of us have. I think we're facing a shift in our lives so extreme that our souls are aware of an approaching change and as we rush to make our spirits healthy, we're sensing a reflection from the near future and know it's time be contemplating eternity and our place in the cosmos.

Good people like you deserve a better future than the one being drawn in our current cartoon. So much is phony today we are immersed in the karma of a cultural disconnect with reality. It's the real people that will prosper ultimately, that which is fake only impresses other phonies...

The lies won't prosper, only truth endures. 

So celebrate, you're one of the lucky ones who doesn't need to change, only perservere...  

I may drop in now ocasionally, I apreciate your support, but I think I would still have to avoid politics. I have no tolerance anymore for the cowardice of those who support treason for their own comfort. I'll stay out of the political discussions or else I'll have to leave again.

I was kind of hoping the ditto heads had either left or grown brains... 

wow! thanks for the link - Those look awesome! I need to spend some time with them later, we have company coming for dinner tonight and they should be here any minute, my wife is yelling that I need to put some coffee on. The fish photos look really interesting and the reflections on the windows of the convention center. You have a good eye.  I need to share some photos with you too, I got a digital camera a while back, It's a Canon SLR so it uses the same lenses as my pro cameras. I've been loving being freed from film, labs and scanners.

Hey David,

It's always good to see old faces again!  Stick around awhile, pull up chair and take a load off your feet.
