Maybe I'll share it someday. I like the Thunderbird picture by the way. I know you photo-shopped it though to make it look like they were flying as close as the Blue Angels.

I was one of only three conservatives in that start-up I worked at in SFO (but we weren't exactly lo-pro). I lived in Berserkeley for the first year I was there and I could NOT talk politics with MY neighbors... although I did put on my BUFF tee shirt for Sunday morning forays to the coffee shops near my apartment, just to stimulate conversation. Fun times!<br /><br />In the end I voted with my feet... and left without looking back. Two and a half years was about all I could take.
