 Jarrell..............  I love it!  I think that scene is played out again and again within each of us.  Not only great photography and great editing, but some great insight as well.

Wow.  You ran all the way around to the other side of the layout in what, 1/250 of a second?  Man, that's fast.

Oboy, does THAT hit home, LOL!  Tongue  Terrific photo--as usual--and it's nice to know that someone else has an Identical Evil Twin except me.

 In case anyone hasn't figured it out, the grumpy- know- it- all, nothing- is- ever- good- enough, is the one on the right.  The one on the left, the real me, just tries to humor and please him but rarely succeeds.

And if I've told him once I've told him a thousand times.... Don't lean on the layout!  Please!!

Oh, I tell him where he can put it, but he never listens.  What's bad is when I'm standing there talking to him and my wife walks in.

I don't think I have an evil twin, maybe I'm the evil twin?

My evil twin comes in hands - when something is good, I take the credit, but, when something is less than perfect, I blame it on him!!  Late last night my wife said "Oooooooooh, it's you again!!!!Blush

Jarrell,

 

I see that you get that guy visiting your layout as well.  You know, I never get anything done when he is around.  I figure I must spend at least as much time staring at the layout as I do working on it.  Always appreciate your taking the time to make a humorous post.

 

BTW:  Jarrell,  I think it is a good time for you to re-post the hilarious
"model railroading is fun" picture from several years ago.  An oldie but a goodie.

My wife's naughty twin seems to appear whenever we take a train trip. She really likes train trips.   Is that on the train subject?

That's great, Jarrell!

Being someone with Photoshop experience, I want to know: Which person was in the "base" photo and which was added in? Or is the foreground a composite of two different photos?
