About Me

"Fortunately I am not one of those beings who when they smile are apt to expose remnants, however small, of horrible and degrading spinach clinging to their teeth. This is not because I brush my teeth better than others; it is due to the much more categorical fact that I do not eat spinach." -Salvador Dali

My Interests

I drive a big pickup truck. My hands get cut a lot. I take pictures. I build things. I like the woods. I like old things. Coffee is good. Wine is better. Whiskey is best....but its not good with most fine cheeses.

I'd like to meet:

An ant farm. Those little bastards are so damn efficient.

These People Make The World Go Round....
I have several friends.
