MOUSE TABLES REVENGE
Obviously, three great minds with a common warp!
What are they using - PERSON PADs?

Puzzlement - should I sharpen it?

[For more on the ECBS and the related new Bio-Optic Organized Knowledge device, refer to my Computer Page.]

If you love the great outdoors and the Earth, itself, you must read
(if you haven't long since) Chief Seattle's Letter,

NOTES:

There are now many links on this site, even though there are many more internal and web links to come.  Unfortunately, some of the internal links obstinately and inexplicably refuse to work (sorry for any inconvenience).  If they don't work, simply click on "back" and scroll down.

So, where necessary, please SCROLL AWAY!
