realistic 3-D

i wish I had that ind of an eye.

I don't have the eye or the talent. *I'm a bit more right-brained than

Btw, Tim, I remember
hearing a report over the radio a few years back of some man from our
state who had over the years, day by day, written the daily headlines
on the wall of his basement, and it was discovered after the man had
passed on.

Similar thing happened near here.A man lived in his Mothers House
after she had passed. He was a regular downtown, and was not a tramp
or a beggar.He just looked very strange in appearance. It was
discovered that he had scribed the entire inside walls of the house
with his writings. Amazing fellow.

Was that in the Midwest? The story I had heard was some time ago, and
my memory may be failing me on the details. Maybe yours is the same
person. Speaking of strange fellows, Tim may recall a man who bore
the moniker of "Alley Oop" from a local town in our area of the
country. The man died recently; but, he spent years walking around
town in women's apparel, usually a shabby a dress, and he did that for
as long as I can remember. He didn't have a home to speak of, and he
would either carry a large handbag or push a shopping cart around. He
could usually be found browsing in local stores and shops where he
would make an occasional small purchase. He wasn't reclusive
necessarily, either; he wasn't afraid to make conversation. I think
he carried the nom de guerre of "Alley Oop" because he had unusually
hairy arms, and he wore his hair down to below his shoulders. For a
small Midwestern town, this guy was a bit much. The oddest thing
about his circumstance, though, was that he apparently was an heir to
a small fortune.
