Good video Jack! Unfortunately my bad keyboard is on a laptop -- thinking not a good idea to run the whole thing through the DW...

Happy New Year!

I have used the dishwasher once if I recall and the keyboard came out all sparkling clean.

I thought initially the video was a joke, but it is a hoot, AND IT WORKS!

Hope you had a Merry Christmas Scott, and a happy new year!

We had an "interesting" Christmas - think we might be getting a new (used) car - it's being shipped in the Carmax system. But how we got to that point was the interesting part... I haven't been on FTE all that regularly but enjoyed the pictures of your trees!

Seems like a good place to post this news:
Gary Larson is Back! And with a website to enjoy his old and new work. My favorite cartoonist of all time - in my mind his humor is right up there with Jack's!

Thanks for posting that. I am guilty of being one of those that wondered if he was even still alive. Looking forward to seeing what they release in 2020.

That's the second book in the style. I'm on the first, "Donald drains the swamp". I read slow and need pictures.

He's done children's books and headier stuff of religion. He has one titled off a quote from Benjamin Franklin: "If you can keep it: The forgotten promise of American liberty", which is actually the one I'm reading now. If anyone wants to see his talk about the book, there is a video on YT from a Socrates in the City event. I won't link, I used up my insertion time with the pictures of the book ... Search for Eric Metaxas: If you can keep it

That is how he normally talks, and since we have a family gathering on July 4 week every year, it is how he genuinely feels about July 4 and the country. He celebrates the day.
