Redz:
I can't believe I missed the passing of your third "Star" milestone, and I hope you forgive my failure to catch it, especially where you are very often the first to congratulate others, including me. While we don't always agree, I respect and admire your convictions, and the gift you seem to have for "walking the line" so deftly between discussion and discourse ... and getting your point across without offending, and quite often with humor and grace.
As many of the pictures you post have done a great deal to lighten my days, and interject a bit of wit and capricious humor into an otherwise dull routine, I felt it would be fitting to honor your third star by finding a similar funny pic and posting it here. Upon some digging and perusing of many such comic photos, and wasting good Google time getting far "off the track", (as usual), I came up nil. Nothing I came across seemed funny enough or worthy of the time invested.
As a result, I decided that it might be a good time to remember a fallen hero who had once brought many smiles to my face as well, and the connection of his number and the significance of your "third" star seemed appropriate. I could think of no
greater honor at that point, either, and humor seemed a bit inadequate when compared to the chance to remember such a life cut far too short. Anyway ... sorry again for missing your third star ... and for using this occasion to shamelessly give tribute to one of the greats, (though I've no doubt you'll take it in the positive way it's intended).
Awesome job, Redz ... here's to your number three!
