    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Pretty well the same advice here for hiking in Grasslands National Park. The bison are free range, they can run 35mph and there are no trees to climb. The rule is that if any part of a bison side view extends beyond the width of a thumb, with arm at full extension, you should back off slowly.

Yesterday, early afternoon. 38degF, 30-35mph winds, 10ft waves. Gates are open, but I didnt get close at all.

(The gates I mention are part of the blue railing on the left, the other half is obscuerd on the right side behind that big green sign.)

THis morning, calm, but 18degF.
All ice. Put on my boot chains.

THat would be city police that you saw in a prevoius posting a few weeks ago. Was about the same time of day (about 8 or 9AM) Monday (1st pic), so thought I might be seeing another cop dispatched to close/lock the gates.
Later in the day (2nd pic), was windier and more waves yet, cop would have needed hip boots (or jump along the rocks, like I did earlier that morning).

The first of the two Christmas gifts I'm making this year is done. My younger daughter has asked me for the last couple of years to make a frame for a puzzle she'd finished but I drug my feet until I could find and pick up a Logan V-Nailer, point setter, and mat board cutting tool. Plus I really like the look of the Ambrosia maple so had to get more of it from the guy I use.

Also making a musical jewelry box for the granddaughter which should be done in another week or so.

You're going to enjoy those books Bob, no doubt. Like so many others, I have such fond memories of reading The Far Side. In the Sunday paper's comic section when I was a kid and then, later on, in big books that encompassed years worth of content, like you have here.

I've always been a big fan.
This is suppose to be everything...
From the 'blurb:
A masterpiece of comic brilliance, The Complete Far Side contains every Far Side cartoon ever syndicated--over 4,000 if you must know--presented in (more or less) chronological order by year of publication, with more than 1,100 that had never before appeared in a book. Also included are additional Far Side cartoons Larson created after his retirement: 13 that appeared in the last Far Side book, Last Chapter and Worse, and six cartoons that periodically ran as a special feature in the New York Times Science Times section as The Far Side? of Science. Creator Gary Larson offers a rare glimpse into the mind of The Far Side? in quirky and thoughtful introductions to each of the 14 chapters. Complaint letters, fan letters, and queries from puzzled readers appear alongside some of the more provocative or elusive panels. Actor, author, and comedian Steve Martin offers his sagacious thoughts in a foreword, and Larson’s former editor describes what it was like to be “the guy who could explain every Far Side cartoon.”

Thanks gentlemen. Rusty, I didn?t find it creepy in the least. The fog was so thick and it was so quiet that it was like a blanket of tranquility. It was a bit surreal.
