Okay, I'm going to close it for tonight and give the foggy head some rest. I really appreciate the takes and likes. This is my first cold/flu in a couple years and it bites :frown: But I think I'm on the back end of it and have some real killer material to post up over the weekend.

Pretty things :cloud9: and things rarely seen :preach:
