When seeing the pheasant pictures I have to wonder if one of those tail feathers is one that we had embedded into the custom made rod we had made for him. "I love living.

I got to explain a little bit about Dr. Dave to my MD. "Live like you'll die tomorrow, but manage your grass like you'll live forever." -S. M. Stirling

One of the finest men I've ever known, and truly a best friend. Built bridges between academia, agencies, and the private sector as he did his part to educate students and be a great friend to all of us. Miss him immensely. Teach a man to grow fish... He can teach to catch fish...

Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color. Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.
