Well, that trick isn't all that hard OR dangerous. Nothing spectacular about doing it barefoot either. One summer, many, many, many decades ago :oldman: I did that 5 times a day at the bottom of the hour. At the top of the hour I entertained the tourists by milking western diamondbacks. :boxing: I u...

Easy, peasy for a geologist who spent decades processing satellite imagery and before that photogeologic mapping. My bet is that the circles pop out for Shannon, too, also. Some may find it easier to see if they rotate the image 90° and 180°. With aerial photos I can see the terrain as a valley and ...

Being plain-spoken, I appreciate your candor and honesty, Maybenaut. I was too general with the title of the thread for what I ended up writing.

Thank you for the counterpoint, Maybenaut. From my perspective, this is targeted towards family and close friends. As for my Dad, he appreciated both of his sons calling him every Veterans' Day. If I were a betting man I'd bet that Foggy does the same each Veterans' Day. Saying "thanks for your...

Thank you for sharing the photo of your quilt! Mrs. Gneiss loves your library quilt, Sugar (me too, also). You are a very gifted fiber artist.
