I'm not sure what this test proves exactly, but I'm calling the cops.

Yes, but not MJ either which makes me think we are talking about smoking Michael Jackson.

"it took no discernible will-power to do it, nor did I feel anything approaching 'withdrawals'. Giving up regular tobacco cigarettes, however, was sheer hell."

No kidding. I haven't smoked a joint in over 20 years and I couldn't care less. I quit smoking cigarettes 4 years ago and still want one nearly every day after work and don't EVEN get between me and my coffee in the morning. Nowadays when I hear the word "pot" I think "oh good, someone's making coffee."

Fresh Turkey Vulture!

Posted By Christine Canelos Welsh

Pretty majestic for a carrion eater, eh? Actually, I love the turkey vultures. Their elegance in the air is hard to beat, even if they do have faces only a mother turkey vulture could love!

Should we ask for photos?

Posted By Christine Canelos Welsh

You would have to call such a forum
(WARNING IRREVERENT HUMOR AHEAD)
"Me and My Invisible Friend"

Seriously, you guys better be careful, you know what they do with photos over in Off Topic!

Take care!

I had a friend make some modifications. He took the weight from behind the mirror cell, drilled some ventilation holes in it, and mounted it outside the tube. It cools down much faster now (Thanks Ed!).

heh heh heh heh.....gotcha!

Actually I was going to, but all I have is an old low-res digi camera and as you can see the pics aren't very good. Besides, the picture thread on the other forum is long gone, and Bill, I don't think you've put yourself up there yet!

And James, my head better not appear on anything like Bev or Petra's bodies, okay?

Thanks, my friends!

People SHOULD be paranoid about this issue.

I'm not paranoid, it's just that everyone is out to get me.

Incubating Killdeer

Sweet! She might return each year to the same spot, too. My cousin had one nest on her driveway for a few years in a row. I can remember having to drive up on the lawn to get to her house because she would put big timbers around the nest to protect it.
