    A few more things about myself.

    As you can probably tell from my avatar, I enjoyed fishing a great deal until dry macular degeneration causes me to lose enough eyesight that I can no longer tied flies and small hooks to my line. I also enjoy playing at golf when I can find someone that is willing to watch my ball. My wife and I both enjoy NASCAR and now watch avidly on television. We have been to a total of eight of the tracks where Sprint cup races are run. We have a motor home in which we have visited every State in the Union with the exception of Hawaii. We flew there. Finally, my wife and I are both active in our local Lions Club. I am our club's secretary and my wife is the District Secretary. I compete my duties by using the computer blown up to a bout 450%.

    One additional thing. about two years ago, I voluntarily exhanaged my drivers license for a picture ID from the Motor Vehicle Department.

    I really think I am going to enjoy it here. Thanks for the warm welcome.

    Oh, and do I need to say that I am somewhat liberal?
    The art of discussion, sharing and the search for common ground where there are no winners and losers.

    I'm sorry to hear about your eyesight. It is nice that some things can be compensated for, like using a computer at 450%.

    Welcome.

    Welcome...

    We could use another somewhat liberal. This place is somewhat conservative.
