Your daughter is gorgeous Aroura, I have many sons..all of which are strong and well built...two of which remain un-promised, perhaps an arrangement can be made?

Yes he is! Only, as he explained to us, it's just called mail. The word "chain" was a modern add-on that started in the 19th century. Ah ok, I just always used 'chain' myself. I thought it was to distinguish it from platemail, splintmail, etc....
I'd love to try a suit of real mail on, but I'd probably just fall flat on my face from the weight.

I'd imagine with all that weight, back in the day, they would have all fought in slow motion, tai chi style.

Do I have to provide a dowry?

I'm pretty sure Rhythm would accept livestock.

The swords were real too. There was an overhead projector attached to the ceiling that one of them hit on an overhand swing (the area they had marked off to fight in was very confined, and the ceilings are low), and he scarred it about half an inch deep. It survived though.
Being a postman must have been a bitch back then.

I've been having fun with that rainbow filter, as of yesterday. I took a new picture today to use with it.

It has been a while since I've posted any photos from my garden. For some mysterious reason I've been unable to sign onto my flickr account. But I finally broke down and started a new one. So here are some recent photos around the garden.
Oh and here is one of my dog Heidi Rose playing my brother's Formosan Mountain dog/Lab cross Lily.

Great looking gardens, whateverist.
Messing around with some more photo editing. This time I borrowed from Indiana Jones, "Raiders of the Lost Ark".
