I like that one Monrein

I think after the eight years of insanity ends that blessedly ends in about 4 weeks I'll retire the metaphorical think ahead avatar for one that reflects the new reality. I'll have to see if I can photo shop Cairny into a soup line.

Definitely one of the more unusual and, well yes I'll say it, odd avatars.  Look forward to whatever you come up with next.

Rubber ducky reminds me of the rubber duck my husband gave to me as a gift when we first met 28 yrs ago. I till have it and still use it in the tub every once in a while. Plus, it was a choice when I signed up at this site as an avatar and I didn't know how to get my own picture on., Now I'm too lazy to change it.

I'd like to see old pictures too - but the kids are a keeper

I'm thinking my new avatar is a good metephor for the task facing the Obama administration - do your job on a unicycle in a room full of meat hooks

Well if Rolando and Alene change theirs, I might be lost who is posting. However, I'm not against change since I can't keep mine the same long enough .
