Well, not exactly new. I've been an unregistered lurker for quite some time, but I decided to register and make my presence known :).

Welcome from here in New England (41 and raining, maybe snow flurries tonight)!  I was also a "lurker" for several months until I detected a pirate on a frequency no one had logged (Red Beacon Radio 7610).  Hope you get as much enjoyment out of the community as I have.  Interested in seeing what you receive in the southwest.  Methinks we as bloggers are over represented in the northeast and east coast but better over represented than no loggings.  Enjoy!

Hello Smokey.

Where have you been, Fansome? The last I heard of you, you were being questioned about smuggling wafers of enriched uranium under the pennies in your loafers into Iran. Those identical twin cousins you're shacked up with can't be happy about that.

Howdy Smokey, and welcome!

Pay no attention to those electronics behind the curtain....!
They belong to my second cousin, Pigmeat, but I know nothing else about them!

I knew it! You two are related; it's not a surprise. You realize, of course, that this means that you carry lapine DNA, just like him.
