Hal,
I thought about using old Wily E. Coyote in a logo for my shop. Though Warner
Brothers, I think it is, would sue sure as he!!. Anyhow if I could have found
an artist to draw him, I thought of having him standing at a bench with a big
wooden ACME crate open on top. Then see a transformer setting beside it he just
unpacked. I always did enjoy that cartoon as a kid. Now these parenting
actavists have about all these cartoons either banned, or edited all to pieces
because they say they are too violent! I never did push somebody off a cliff
while they was holding dynamite, though I thought about it, I never done it :
) I think I was still pretty yong, say in my 20's when that started the
editing. There's too many psychiatrists with their hands into too many things,
and too many folks have gotten too panzy in my opinion. However, we now have
all these other cartoons about war, etc, where they blow up everything, not
meant to be funny that the kids watch, so what happened? They don
't holler about canceling them! At least old Wily Coyote and Bugs Bunny were
meant to be funny, and to be taken seriously. I can not fugure out some of the
human race no matter how I go about it sometimes. Now, people wonder why their
kids grow up the way they do, I know why, it was from canceling the old
cartoons and putting the viloence of war in front of them as cartoons!
Anyhow, the bike your mentioning, I think I would have changed every fastiner I
could to inch here. They are more available everywhere you go here in the US. I
have seen some hardware stores not carry metric fasteners because they say the
don't turn over enough. I do the conversion on a lot of things I buy for that
reason and having to use one set of tools for everything.
I need to get up with you too. I may be coming down that way shortly, and
thought I'd drop by.
Best,
Will
