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

It’s Monday. The holiday season is all about the skeletons, right? We have some neighbors that certainly believe so. It starts around Halloween when they put up a spooky graveyard full of skeletons. After Halloween the graveyard is replaced with just two skeletons in Native American headdress wishing everyone a good Thanksgiving. And now, during Christmas there’s a whole holiday display featuring—of course—more skeletons! In this photo it appears that a skeleton has stolen Santa’s sleigh and is preparing to take his skeletal babe out for a joyride. You just can’t go wrong with skeletons in your holiday display!

I knew that I shouldn’t have done it, but I watched the Bears vs. Packers game on Sunday afternoon. Once again they played well, even holding the lead at halftime. And then as always, everything went to shit in the second half. The result was another embarrassing loss for the Bears, 28 to 19. Please, can it please be Nascar season now?
