Re: What celebrity deaths have affected you the most? - 5 years ago

I'm going to step out of the weeds as a long time lurker to answer this one because curiously enough I was thinking about this same idea just recently: Robert Arneson (I was lucky enough to have him as a teacher at UCD for several semesters, and the thought of his death still makes me sad to this day.) Kurt Cobain (I still remember the first time I saw Nirvana when they opened fo

Re: are farming having a good business these days? - 15 years ago

That's a tough question to answer. Even with the upswing in micro farms in this country in the past decade or so due in part possibly to an increasesed demand for locally grown produce and such, and a possible re-emergence of the whole "back to the land movement," the small family farms have been in decline for the past several decades. Although I think it's quite possible to ar

Re: Trek U!. . .latest 'Star Trek casting. . . - 15 years ago

I guess my cave is deeper then most as I've no idea who any of those people are besides Winona Ryder. I unplugged our cable a few years ago and I must admit I don't miss popular culture all that much anymore. As for the Star Trek movie they are forming, it seems rather like kicking a dead horse. outcast

Here up in the Pacific Northwest we are currently under a snow advisory and a high wind watch.

Why not print out one of these paper camera models and send it to them. Or if you're feeling kind and want to send him something that actually takes pictures, print him out a copy of the Russian pinhole camera from the 70's, the Dirkon: outcast

Or you could just call him and thank him for being your father.

Of course you run the risk of actually having to talk to him if you don't time it just right so the answering mach
