Oh the irony!!!!! I wonder how many of them realize that they are

P.S. I don't know if I ever asked you this, and I'm not sure how close you
are to Colorado Springs, but I lived for a summer near Lake George working
at Florissant Fossil Beds NM. If you ever go to stop by in the summer,
you can see the exhibit I designed and produced in the visitor's center,
and you can also see a photo of me in my first (and only :) modeling job at
the paleontological dig exhibit.
