Since I do not come here to this area nearly as often as I should, I am starting this thread to personally welcome all the new members who have joined since I last said "Welcome!"
So, to everyone who has joined recently: Hail! Be welcome and true!
Enjoy your stay, and please leave the door open for the next person.
There's plenty to do here! Explore!
Welcome once again!

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want
to test a man's character, give him power.
--Abraham Lincoln
Excerpt from Animal Songs Never Written
"Hey, dad," croaked the vulture, "what are you eating?"
"Carrion, my wayward son."
"Will there be pieces when you are done?"
