Russ, I hardly recognized you in the latest Wood & Steel (vol. 50 Winter '09). You're in long pants!

Nice picture on page 24!

Certainly, Koa, the head stud in Russ' herd of not-so wild Chihuahuas, thought it was a nice place to mate.

And that's actually a better version of the W&S photo.

Wasn't sure since I'm sure Australia is a nice place to mate, just can't think of a bad place to mate.

Howdy Dave,
No Steve didn't do it, it was Bil Zelman. He is new to Taylor, but he is pretty well known.
