Need some help from jewelry designers. How do you fasten the cord into the spring, if glue, what kind.

I am sure it is a Dr Who situation

Snapped a few pictures at the parade, later I uploaded them to my computer and look what I got!

Harry Potter books

 Michelle out did herself Friday at a garage sale. To get started I really like books to keep, preserve and obtain reading copies of the ones I want to read. Well, Michelle picked up four Harry Potter hard backs at the garage sale for a buck each with each book looking as though it had just been purchased at Barns and Noble. The downside; not a one of them is even close to being a first edition however I will install them into my tiny collection and look for PB's to read. Way to go Michelle!

HEM's, Human Eradication Missiles.

   My life became so much nicer as of yesterday, no matter how decrepitly old you are, you have to fumble through your wallet/purse to produce your id so you can buy beer/cigarettes. I think law abiding citizens should be required to have scan-able id's incorporated into all there clothing, this should at least keep the line at the check out moving. When we as lock-stepping citizens become complacent with the current corrective actions by the 'state' to keep its citizens under control the next corrective step will be required chips implanted in our bodies. These chips will have all our stats in them and they will be able to track you from a satellite from space! Not only that when you drag yourself into an establishment to purchase your cig's/beer all the clerk has to do is check the screen in front of them to see if you are even human! I do feel some more secure every day... I only buy the cig's for Michelle and the kids across the street and the beer for me. However there is even more coming and that is an innovation in missiles. Somewhere deep inside a mountain there is a small group of "top" government scientists working on a tiny missile that can be fired from a stationary orbit space platform. This missile can be fired and it will seek a certain implanted chip and take out its target. This missile will enter the body of its victim and rip the body to pieces; it is called HEM's,  Human Eradication Missiles. These missiles are only the size of a sewing needle!

some panoramas

Some stuff in the mill and a couple 360 degree images.

Where I drink Mill Stream, brewed in Iowa, beer: a panorama.

  
    The the panorama consists of five images stitched together using Microsoft ice a freeware program from MS. Each photo has people in different positions with one women walking ten feet or more before I shot her in another image. Ice stitched the images and decided which image of her to eliminate a procedure that I could not have done years ago by hand.

up, up and away with a speeding bullet into the micro processer

Up and running and tripping over low buildings, faster than 2 steps backwards and crashing  into firewalls. Not enough room for a good virus
