Dang it.  What a waste.  Hope he spread those genes.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

does anybody know when it was hit?
I worry about belonging to a club that accepts people like me as members.

Dang. Saw a big bull killed on I-90 near Suncadia last weekend, was kind of hoping it was the same one and not a different one.

Not sure if that pic really does him justice. I think he looks bigger.
