Yesterday, Israel made available (digitally) the Dead Sea Scrolls to all interested in viewing them. They come with an magnify, outline and translate to English option.
So… I thought, what better way to wish my friends here (and to everyone, everywhere) a “Happy New Year” than with one of my favorite quotes from Isaiah.
I recently went to Photoshop school (Lesa Snider, G-d Bless you for the wonderful teacher you are!) with Hankers (and a special blessing to you, my friend).
My warped and devious mind decided to put these events together and (as is my way, yearly) to wish all
A Wonderful, Healthy, Peaceful, Productive and Creative New Year
So here it is, with great love to you all…

LOL.... yes, it is a custom at New Years. To signify sweetness in the New Year. (why wise cracks???)
"Doctor" comes from docere (latin), meaning 'to teach'. Every opportunity to have others understand should be snatched... and treasured.
Correct, my friend.
True wisdom. And to you as well, John.
Navy, eh? Was my second choice, but due to the age of picture it was very hard to tell. My confusion was due to the pin, which reminded me of an airforce pin:

Lucky you for being able to return to the US as well
Edit: ummm, guys, I'm Jewish, myself (albeit a secular one) so I really wouldn't mind that you'll learn more Jewish customs, I was just kidding around.
Not just the picture...
Those were my parachuting wings. My UDT wings were on the other side, with my Operational service pin. Serious business, once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away.
Very interesting learning. Thank you and Shana Tova! to all.
I have to agree mrs_starkers is correct. A real shame he went down hill so bad.
Ain't that the sad assed truth! [e digicons]:'([/e]
Not to mention that you'd learn that diversity is our greatest strength. Think of all that very rich history going back so many thousand years. Just what's available in the libraries alone is enough to boggle the mind. I figure over 150 countries on Earth....that many and more different cultures....here's one that links East, West and everyone in between. Its a mythological animal that may or may not have existed for real. A Dragon. In nearly every culture there are references to dragons. Something to think about.

Mythological my old patoot! Hmmmm..... Come to think of it....
In fact...
My arse be dragon!
Did my 2 years, 2 months & 10 days at Port Hueneme, Doc. Summer whites year-round there.
Shana Tova to you as well.
I'll get the lights.
No need... not a Shabbat keeper and it isn't Shabbat anyway.
Thanks, Daiwa.
I wouldn't have picked that,
Don't speak Hebrew, but am Jewish. Shana Tova, everyone. Go forgive and be forgiven.
Shana Tova bud!
