Light blogging ahead...

My friend Kaylee is in town for the weekend, and we'll probably visit Oleg, so don't expect much between now and Monday morning.

I'll leave y'all with a cute illustration Kaylee did back in the day. It always makes me smile...

She's so artsy & talented.

I've used that as a sig line on my emails n' such for years. I've usually envisoned various arms, but the Martini-Henry Mark IV works just right.

(I saved the pic with a "by Kaylee")

Any chance I could get a large file suitable for printing as a poster? Or a ready made poster?; 2:24 PM, December 18, 2006
Gewehr98 said...: Kaylee did the artwork for me, I had used that sig line on my TFL and THR postings for a long time, and mentioned on THR that a Zulu War Pooh uttering those words would look just about perfect. Little did I know that she was busy doing just that, until:
