It’s Thursday. One of my readers proudly sent in this photo of his house that he painstakingly decorated with Christmas lights. Some people just throw up whatever they can, but Dave clearly had a vision and was prepared to sacrifice everything in the name of art. A spectacle of this size was truly a herculean effort that would deter most men, but Dave was prepared and would let nothing stand in his way. Afterall, this would be his masterpiece, a true expression of inspiration and love for his craft. It’s his gift to humanity—all who lay their eyes upon it.

Keep, Yeo, My house is on the left, the yellow door bell light. -Dave

It’s Wednesday. I’ve been collecting various automotive ornaments for many years now. It started innocently enough with a C5 Corvette convertible from Hallmark. Every year I added another Corvette or two and then expanded my collection to include famous vehicles like the DeLorean from Back to the Future, KITT from Knight Rider, and a few Batmobiles. My collection now has roughly 35 vehicles and is still growing every year. I also decided that it was time for a larger tree, so I picked up a 3-foot pre-lit tree a couple years ago. Unfortunately it’s already looking a bit crowded, so I may have to upgrade to a 4-footer next year!

On a different note, if anyone has Microsoft Outlook knowledge, especially involving import/export (moving Outlook from one PC to another), please drop me a note in email.

It’s Tuesday. You guys have sent in numerous beaver sightings over the many years, but the one featured today is in a class all its own! Just when I thought I’ve seen some big beavers, this one comes along and blows all others away. At 1,500 lbs and 18-feet long, this beaver in Beaverlodge, Alberta Canada, proudly belongs in the prestigious category of “Big-Ass Beaver!”

The beaver weighs: 1,500 lbs
The log weighs 1,500 lbs
Beaver is: 18′ long, 10′ wide and 10′ high
Log is: 5′ high, 20′ long

The Beaverlodge beaver was built in two parts, the beaver and the log, in 2004. It took 90 gallons of polyurethane to coat, approx. 13 gallons of paint, and 18 blocks of foam to make the sculpture. Now that’s a hell of a lot of beaver, eh!

Hey Keep, Been a daily visitor since forever (can you say midi files?). Anyway, I know you’re always on the lookout for beaver. This beauty is in the town of Beaverlodge, Alberta Canada. Even up here, no one likes a cold beaver, hence the scarf! -Tom
