Hey folks. I've been injured for a couple of days. I bent over to look for a container lid, and my back stabbed me. (It happens.) The world has been busy and stupid, lately, but I've also been lazy, and THEN my back went out, so I've felt pretty useless... Ha! (Productivity is not synonymous with VALUE...) Anyway, I'm gonna upload one more art bit, then cut this entry. Thanks for visiting!!!

The best way to divest them of power is by moving them from the occluded spaces and exposing them to the bright lights!) Rock on, little dude... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
