As December comes to a close, my thoughts, as usual, are something like, "Oh, great! Another year shot to hell."

Then I remember something good that happened late in December a long, long (long) time ago: It's Walt's birthday!

Happy birthday, Walt!

Regards,

Dave

Hey!!!! Happy Birthday Walt! I think I still have a picture from the day you were born around here somewhere...



J/K buddy. Hope you are enjoying your birthday.

Mark: did you forget how to make a url visible?

For people who didn't see the url:

Great picture! A "home computer" if your home is a nuclear submarine. (Love the steering wheel.) The monitor looks like a 1950's vintage Sylvania Halo-Light TV.

Ummm---I should have figured that Mark knows how to do what he wants to do around here. I just never thought of clicking on the "smiley".

I never use smilies (it's a religious thing), and I didn't think about their actually being used for something useful (like linking to something).

Oh, well...

Just a matter of knowing how the BBCodes work around here. Kinda goes with the territory.

Thanks, guys! I remember that picture! It was one of the first pix posed in Sunday Morning Humor!
