That's just plain silly.
Everyone knows that Otis writes in cursive.
I suspect Mrs. Rupert.

To commemorate this Awesome occasion and honor my Nordic bretheren, I bought a Volvo!! And no K-3's came with it!!

**rod_grant** · 03-19-2015, 07:00 PM

No sign of Jean or Racer?
Are they well?
Have they bought K3s (the photographic sort - not those 3 girls that Jean is always prattling on about!)?

Is the Fox welcome?
Does he have to sign some declaration about being non argumentative?

So many questions: so few answers!

Fun watching it go by.

I'm getting dizzy...

Oh, and did you get pentaxdude's approval?

OMG! The Thread just won't die! I'm concerned that it will no longer settle for cheese, bacon, igunaq, or lutefisk, due to an insatiable craving for braaaaaaaaains.

Served with a side of Tokyo skyscraper.

I used to do that with Zoe. She would sit patiently and perfectly still until I would say, "OK!". Then she would flip it up, and snatch it in midair.

Never missed a single one.

People used to tell me it was mean to make her wait.

I always pointed out that she was exercising her ability to obey commands.

Zoe came to me an orphan at 2 weeks. I nursed her (and her 10 litter mates) with goats milk. I was nursing her when her eyes opened, and she imprinted on me as "mom". Every day Zoe was a loyal and dedicated companion. Never apart, not even for a day, for her entire life, she was nearly 15 when she left me.

I miss her every single day.

I got a thing for wagons.

My first car was a '62 Impala Wagon.

Like this, only white, and not so shiny. Mine had the Pontiac rally wheels on it, the rears widened to fill the wheel wells.

Fun car.

Then there is my latest wagon. After a windstorm last December. A bit smaller, but it handles way better than the Chevy, accelerates just about as well, and gets 3 times the fuel mileage.
