PS I like the wry grin!

Post by: MagpieDi on January 02, 2004, 18:50:17: Oh...Tim!!........how could you berate my lovey-dovey animated symbol... winging it's way across the cyber waves, conveying a most sincere message to one and all!! ;) ;D

btw..Tim, how canny of you !! Up here in the wilds we DO have a wind 'farm' !! As one approaches over the brow of the hill........monstrous, metallic albatross type wings loom into view 'twixt field and sky........extremely surreal !!

Foggy today...but here's a pic anyway ( slightly enhanced!! ).....sorry, couldn't fit all 15 of them in!
