Ah my dear brother Larry - you forgot that Phully does not refer to his wife as his wife . . . she would be the old boiler! LOL!

Well Larry - the "Reader's Digest " version:
Got the divorce. Went half crazy now and then - sold all the sawdust makers, quit my job and moved to Atlanta for about 3 weeks. Visited with my son, looked for gainful employment, and then Harvey (used to frequent the wreck) called me and told me to head for Las Vegas (a place I never even wanted to visit!) Stayed with him and his family for about 3 weeks, got my own place, working as a project manager for the largest mechanical contractor in the city. Advanced to Senior Quality Control Inspector making a great living. A lot has happened to old Jums since the old days. I got married a year and a half ago to a beautiful (and younger) woman who got me back into church. I've got the band going full swing - we've performed at most of the major casinos up and down the Strip, opened for a few of the big names in country music (Reba, Big & Rich, Dwight Yoakum) and having the time of our lives. I am truly blessed - something I thought I would never be able to say. The other thing that keeps me grounded and busy is that I also accepted the role of a lay minister in our church. I preach at an assisted living center around the corner from our church, and I also perform marriages and funerals. Yup - old Minwax Mac has changed a lot! But for what is the remainder of my life: I wouldn't change it for anything! I built all my backyard furniture (redwood . . . no jummywood in the bunch!) but it still won't hold up to the desert heat with 4% humidity! The hottest it's been since I got here almost 8 years ago was 121=B0. They say it's a dry heat and it's not as bad but believe me . . . my oven is a dry heat and it cooks my food! LOL!
My best wishes and love goes out to each and every one of you. I learned more about woodworking and life from you brothers than I ever did from anyone else. We lost a wrecker a few months back - Tom Rush in Sugar Land. Life is precious ~ it can go in a heartbeat (or maybe just a 1/4 of a finger at a time) I heard from a lot of you guys back when the divorce was severing my life . . . If I ever failed to say it, thank you! Life is good . . . but I'll still never build a spruce goose or talk with anyone that wants to! ROTFLMAO!

Nahmie can get you the story of the Pineywood that originated in Aussie Land with Brother Phully. Still a fun read!

allows census images to be downloaded this way. The other option is a PDF. 80% of the images I have are in .TIF.

There are two problems with the above post. One, Dop thinks I was in Oz at some time in my life. The truth is that I've only been there in my nightmares, er, dreams; yeah, that's it.
Two, you think I called the old boiler "wife", but my text isn't even included in any of the above post. The word was used in Dop's xlation.
So there. Pffft! Mr. Smarty Pants Millionaire. Pffft! Mr. College Professor. Pffft! Mr. Beatnick. Pffft! Mr, Hippie!

Not really. Knee problems originate from '74 when I broke left knee. Finally showed me what was going on about '98, cartilage gone. Of course, now the right knee is shot because it does all the work. Thank goodness for Vicodin! Get both knees relubed every 2-3 mo. with Cortisone.
Growing old is NOT for the wimpy!
Heard a different version; Between plastic surgery, tats & Viagra, In about 40 years we'll have a nation of big boobed tattood broads and a bunch ofr men with boners, and none of them can remember what to do with them.

Maaate....... I'm terribly saddened to hear that. Imagine never having been to Oz. I can only guess at what a painful gaping hole that would leave in a man's soul. Must be like a honeybee forced to live on vinegar all it's life. Knowing that ther's all that sweet nectar going begging and instead he gets the bitter crap. Never mind mate, - I can tell you that this is the best place on earth, has the sexiest friendliest Sheilas, the best climate and the best booze. I'll be only too happy to let you know in great detail, at any time, just how much you've missed out on. After all, what are mates for?

I used up a couple bottles of Vicodin with my broken finger. I had no idea that tiny little bones like the distal phalanx (right index fingertip) hurt so much when they broke. I hate taking pain killers, having abused them (though combined with alcohol, they kicked my ass so hard it drove me to get sober), but when they're needed, I take them according to the prescription. In years past, I'd have gone back to the MD and said "They're not doing anything for me? Can I get a larger scrip for something much stronger?" I'm glad those days are over.
Abbalooley!
That reminds me of the nursing home joke. A young lady goes to visit her aged father in the home and as she's leaving, she sees the nurse filling up cup after cup with Viagra. She asks if her father wil receive one and the nurse says "Oh, of course. All the old guys get these. It keeps them from rolling out of bed during the night."

I'll thank you to leave my gapers alone.
After seeing all the scenery in the Crocodile Dundee films, I really wanted to tour Oz.
Oh, Rachel and Sela Ward (va va VOOM!), Anna Paquin, Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchette, Anna Torv, Yvonne Strzechowski, Miranda Otto, Rose Byrne, Rachel Griffiths, Emilie de Ravin, and all the other gorgeous actresses are from there. THANKS for sharing!
I've enjoyed watching Aussie actors Heath Ledger, Mel Gibson, Hugh Jackman, and Russell Crowe, too, besides Paul Hogan, my-man!
Roit. ;) Yeah, I've always wanted to vacation there, but it's just too damned expensive to fly halfway across the world for a week.

This was an old version - long time ago. And I use TIF/TIFF when I want full graphics.
Otherwise you get compressed junk that might look ok and might not.
My camera generates it and it is a high quality picture.
NASA posts TIF in the their very high res pictures.
It isn't new it is one of the older versions.
The newest is a short movie as a picture. Getting out of hand. On internal nets - all sorts of formats are used. On external webs lots of formats are used but mostly bmp and jpg.
Map formats are TIF or other professional formats. Scientific drawings are in Tif - I have a DNA drawing in that format. And naturally lots of personal pictures as well.
Ever write documents or draw in post script ? or .eps ? That is why HP printers have post script options. People now days use pdf of something else.
I have the programming manual.

Dave when did you do your first web site ?
Web graphics can be in TIFF or TIF(if pc) - the only reason for the lower resolution of JPG is faster loads. When data is wanted and speed isn't the need - use TIF.
It just wasn't in your use. And 2004 is not early in web sites at all.
If you were an Apple person - maybe TIF wasn't allowed on an apple. Apple had graphics problems due to resolution issues.
Graphics that worked on my Sun and my PC would not function on a Mac. It was painful for me to get a graphic low enough resolution and low color count for my managers Mac. Engineers spent to much time changing for managers.

Those said it was but wasn't the thing for the web. It was a raw format not a movie format or a wiggle format or low byte count format for wireless and phones..... Frame is still available - I started in 87 or 88.
Wingz was a bout the same time - a very powerful spreadsheet that was able to do simulations and modeling based on logic.
