Viewable and 14 years old. She is not spoiled, just very high expectations that Terri and I try to meet. Every day is precious.
She was a pound puppy rescue at Superpetz described as part Pomeranian, part Daschound, father unknown. From the side she looks like a little red fox with a Pomeranian tail.

I found it on the net. Some guy at Grumman designed it. Baddest thing in the sky!

The patch I wore when I was in the Air Rescue Service as a Para-Rescue Swimmer thanks to the Air Force. I believe it's now called the Areo Space & Rescue Service.

I don't have one yet, can't seem to find one that fits.
Mine is lifted from the business card shown on the old TV show Have Gun Will Travel.
Paladin carried a one of the kind business card. The card read: "Have Gun Will Travel. Wire Paladin. San Francisco." In the center of the card was the picture of a chess piece – the horse-headed white knight, a paladin - so chosen because a white knight is someone who champions for justice.
The title song was:
Have Gun Will Travel reads the card of a man.
A knight without armor in a savage land.
His fast gun for hire heads the calling wind.
A soldier of fotune is the man called Paladin.
Paladin, Paladin Where do you roam?
Paladin, Paladin, Far, far from home.
He travels on to wherever he must;
A chess knight of silver is his badge of trust.
There are campfire legends that the plainsmen spin
Of the man with the gun,
of the man called Pa-l-l-l-l-a-din
The character Paladin, played artfully by Richard Boone, was the thinking man's gunslinger. He never shot unless he had to, but usually could finesse a situation with his brain instead of his brawn. He could quote Keats, Shelley and Shakespeare with aplomb.
The chess knight insignia on Paladin's business card also decorated his holster. He said he chose it because "It's a chess piece. The most versatile on the board. It can move in eight different directions, over obstacles, and it's always unexpected".
I was rather taken with the symbolism of the paladin, and have used it in one form or another on the internet for many years. It's incorporated into my e-mail address and my business cards as well.

Mine is an indoor range I refitted with new target equipment at Bechtel Bettis. It is one of the old Westinghouse facilities in Pittsburgh that pretty much invented everything the world knows about anything nuclear. It is now a NRC facility that is harder to get into than the Pentagon after 911. Yep, been in their range too.
I was going to use a shot of the US Secret Service range that I completely redid, but I didn't have any close shots that you could tell what it was when it was 1 inch square.

The crest of the 99th Infantry Division, the Battle Babies. They were thrown into the Battle of the Bulge as their first major action after arriving in Europe. My first Reserve unit was the 354th Ordnance Company, 99th ARCOM (successor to the 99ID) in 1971. I wore the patch.
"The unit's distinctive shoulder patch consisted of a five-sided shield of black on which is superimposed a horizontal band of white and blue squares. The black represents the iron from the mills of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where many of the troops were from. The blue and white are taken from the coat of arms for William Pitt for whom Pittsburgh was named."

My avatar is the S&W airweight/scandium symbol on my 4040PD, my favorite CCW gun in my collection, and the first scandium framed semi-auto S&W made.

Not sure exactly where (on the great Internet!) I found mine, but it is an homage to a former boss... there's a story behind it, but I probably shouldn't share it.

Mine is a picture of Dick, the best cat I ever had. He was a Bengal, my best friend, and I lost him to cancer just a year ago at about 5 years of age.I always said he was the son I never had. A spectacular cat.
I am sorry.I understand only too well the sorrow of losing a much-loved feline friend. I have similarly suffered the recent loss of a much-loved cat; she died from end-stage renal failure.
My avatar is a favorite cartoon character, "Marvin the Martian," that I remember from my childhood. He wanted to destroy the Earth because it blocked his view of Venus, and Bugs Bunny always stopped him. I remember Marvin declaring "Oh goody! My illudium Q-36 explosive space modulator," and "You make me very very angry, very angry indeed!"
