A high point was reached at the December MeetUp when Clarence Bunsen demonstrated a new device he built from plans published in his favorite magazine, the Scientific American. The homemade "Planetary Harry" Contact Sphere is used to communicate with any visitors from outer space, assuming they exist. Or even if they don't Always up for something new and daring, CountryGal volunteered to give a listen and don the headgear for a minute or so. She didn't say whether she made contact, but her husband reports that since then she has been seen apologizing to their cows. Here's a shot of CB and CG just before he applied the juice.  More to come! |

I love it Dave. I should look around and see if I still have that hat laying about. Swimmy may want that hat instead of the Casa Blanca Fedora.
Sorry about the "membership thing". We only came up with three of us, (Kim was saving for Disney trip, and didn't care about going to Tahiti ) and the $900 wasn't enough for even one of us to vacation in Tahiti. I think we may need an outside entity to run the membership drive, and to raise the funds.
Possibly we can do it like the State of NY and create a membership "AUTHORITY". Those seem to be profitable and seem to raise lots of money. Maybe we will have enough to take the entire membership to Tahiti.
The latest report from Country Gal's husband is that the cows have accepted CG's apology and have gone back to producing milk.

The thing I find frightening about Scientific American, is that they are now publishing things in their history review that I read the first time around. Of course I was very precocious.

clarence, I remember reading the article in Scientific American that predicted that if a train ever exceeded 28 miles per hour, all the air would rush out and the passengers would suffocate.

When her foot isn't aching, Bobbbiez does an electrifying one-woman flag-folding routine that's very popular with the many Legions and Vets associations around Utica. It's jump and twirl, twist and dip, while the old guys wait for "Whoops!" One graying Commander wants her to stand on his casket and perform at his funeral. Here she is, still intact at the final flourish.

Yes, it is true, this lady (below) used to be on the forum. But we had to ask her to leave. Every one of her posts had a royal seal stuck on the bottom, and it got annoying. You think I'M superficially profound! Besides, she put most of us weekend marksmen to shame.
Can't have that.
Here she is heading back to the airport along Oriskany Blvd. Out of frame are the royal hounds in the back seat with Joe Mezz. Joe met her on a Delta Lake Celebrity Tour and she followed him home.

While it's true Joe Mezz doesn't post here very often, he has his reasons. We prefer to think he's very busy, and in fact here he is setting up a shot with Chris and a young friend early one evening just outside the Oneida County Office Building. None seem to notice the Apocalypse taking place above, on it's way to the Legislative Chambers.
No, wait, that's not the Four Horsemen. It's MV EDGE.
Chris looks a bit downcast because Joe took her strawberry away.

Here's Corner, demonstrating how to answer the door when a visitor forgets the secret knock. Because he's an excellent shot ... not to mention he's a really nice guy ... Corner shoots only to impress and seldom injures anyone. Just about everyone in the neighborhood has a story about having their hat shot off when they've stopped to say hello. The newspaper boy wears a purple heart, so often has he been nicked by a whizzing bullet. His Mom asked Corner to pay monthly to reduce the weekly target practice.
