I'll try a different picture this time.  Here's me standing on UP's Southern Pacific Heritage unit.  Directly behind me is the MKT Hertiage unit.

Hey Space Mouse....want to play cow boys and indians....LOl!

I only ring steel. Even then, every once in a while, one will jump back and bite you. But I wouldn't do well with arrows. I'm allergic to pain. Nope, don't like it at all.

Besides everyone knows, I'd never see you until after I was a pin cushion.  

Here's me shootin, those same Remmies in competiton in my BP days. Notice my 92 Winchester and Lil Cricket on the "rock" in the foreground.

And following Ken's lead, this is what happens to boys that play with guns on my layout.

The last thread went bad before I could get in on the action.  Hopefully that won't happen too quickly this time.

This is me and the latest addition to our family.  He was born July 28/08.

David--

GREAT shot!!  Just out of curiosity, would I be more likely to hear you singing the role of Duke of Mantua or Boris Gudonov--or possibly my ultimate hero Hans Sachs?  Just curious.  Smile [:)]

Okay, here's a repeat of me watching "Tosca" with Wiley.  I think Baron Scarpia just got his clock cleaned.
