My Neighbor

I was driving by my neighbors house when I spotted Bob in the front. Since Bob likes to take pictures of us and our house,
especially when we are getting work done (I don't know why) I figured I'd take a couple of shots of him. Here's the result:

Then I noticed a certain resemblance to this popular guy.

Without the hamburgers of course.

Actually Bob is a good guy, a great neighbor and a good friend. We spend lots of quality minutes getting caught up on the gossip in our hood as I am driving by. When I used to be able to work in the yard, Bob would come over all the time and spend hours telling how to do this or that. He always made sure I stopped what I was doing so he could impart his wonderful wisdom and advice. No matter how long it took or how much of a hurry I was in to get the job done. I've never had a kinder foreman. If I missed a spot he would cheerfully point it out to me. Never had a cross word for me even if I got hurt or made some kind of stupid mistake always a kind chuckle or a great belly laff. What a guy!

It's BaaaaacK!

Yeaaaaaa! My Photo Gallery is up and running again!
I'm not sure what exactly happened, but a few months ago my domain host (One World Hosting) moved their servers to a better facility, since then my photo gallery has been down. After my repeated feeble attempts to trey to fix it I finally broke down and called tech support. They had it up and running the same day! The techie reported that some of the tables in MySQL Database were damaged in the moving. She said it was an easy fix.
I don't know why I am so stubborn when things go wrong. I always try to fix it myself first. Sometimes not always, I make it worse. Oh wait! Maybe it's the same reason us guys can't seem to ask for directions when we get lost. I'm sure that's what the ladies will say.
