SORRY!

Just a note to let you know that it will probably be a couple more days before I do any posting.

I suffered for three days and finally yesterday made a trip to the Docs.

He informed Me that I have a Viral Infection and prescribed some high powered anti-biotics.

They're supposed to get me over this thing in 5 days. But that remains to be seen.

I beleive yesterday and today are the first days I've not made a post since I started this blog.

I'd also like to do some begging right now. You know it takes a lot of pictures and other items to

to keep this thing going and I need all the help I can get!

So plese feel free to send Me any material you have for publication on the blog.

You can scan these items and e-mail them to me at dickdykes@verizon.net or send them snail mail and I will scan them and immediately return them yo you.

Thanks A Lot for visiting the blog and I hope to keep it up for a while.
