My Sincere Apologies … Staying Near the Top of the Front Page with a Non-Acrimonious Article is Impossible for More than Two Minutes … or Less!

A Mac.... Thanks for the photos. I, for one will join you and you art on the front page whenever you are there. Realize there are people here who make a practice of 'baiting' each other just for sport, and rarely have any substance to their discussions. I will take a look at whatever you put up!
I spent 32+ years "making the case," putting together paper trails and assuring those I represented that the least they could expect from my efforts was their "day-in-court" and a strict adherence to due process . And it didn't hurt that I liked confrontation and competition.
Whether in defense of a workin' stiff, or, playing semi-pro baseball, the constant that made both the confrontation and competition worth the effort, were … THE RULES … the rules and "third party" individuals enforcing them … be they the guys calling balls and strikes, the unemployment compensation board referees, the arbitrators and/OR those I encountered, even in adversarial positions, who respected the truth when it was absolute and clear, or the well-posited argument when the facts were in dispute!
There are several NT members with whom I can debate … actually debate … respectfully disagree … that without having to deal with one-line-quips-of-no-substance, off-handed dismissals of rebuttal information they simply don't like and/or cannot dispute with any validity.
Sorry for the lament but I needed to express it and did not wish to go to MetaLand and cast my pearls.
Bye.
Mac... how about a link so we can take a better look?
Mac... how about a link so we can take a better look?
I thought about doing that but the link would be to my marketing site and i don't want to appear to be trying to sell.
If it's a problem, let me know and I'll take it down …
Never a problem for any long term member here. Being part of a community has it's benefits.
Nice series of photos Mac.
I agree with Sister Perrie, put up a link.
The link is posted. Click on the individual thumbnails for the best view.

Having said that …

It is not technically a lament if it is simply a statement of fact
Many of us feel the same way
MANY of us, dear A. Mac!
I love your art work, and one of the only reasons that I'm still hanging in there...
That picture right there is a great glimpse of the sacredness all around us. Beautifully done A Mac!
More pix later today …
I completely understand your ''lament'' Mac.
Beautiful photo, love the view of looking up at the tree and moon.
