If life was fair, Elvis would be alive and all
the impersonators would be dead. -Johnny Carson

If he was alive today he would've been on
Dancing With the Stars by now, so he's
probably better off.

Happy Friday Miss C.

Thanks Miss C. I meant to note a couple of other things
but it was a bad day at black rock today.

The Photoshop link was hilarious. Thanks. I sent that

unanimous winner.

I love western history and the Billy the Kid story is
an old controversy. A couple of links on that:
