    Hello from the KOA camp ground via wi-fi on the Vegas Strip.
    I've been busy visiting with Atsushi Ogawa who is an exhibitor
    at the Las Vegas Convention Center, selling his lights ... don't know what type of lights but there under his company name of Chip Hope co, ltd
    He's a very nice and humble young man from Japan with his laptop.

    Memorial Day on the strip in Vegas is all fireworks.

    Yeah, guess it's time to be silent huh?
    From here to Eternity

    I loved your wizard-and-dragon GIF, Project, but how do you include such a GIF in a posting? I would love to know how to do it. You don't need to post the answer here --- you can send me a personal message --- unless, of course, you feel that everybody can profit from the information.

    Loved the GIF, Project! Quite, quite true, too! (which I made by pressing the colon followed by a large letter D).
    Off topic reply: That dragon is one of a bunch of new smilies I installed... when you are composing a message, click the little 'more' link below the smilies shown to see all the possibilities... and you don't need to type the code, just click the picture, and it inserts the smily.

    there were so many people dead and sacrificed in war. I think we should treasure our peaceful and happy life today.

    Welcome to Imaginative Worlds, grace 2010!

    You are right. We need to take more time to be thankful for all that we have--many of us are not so lucky these days. Hope you will make IW your "home away from home" and be comfortable here. We want to hear your opinions and get your input on the many issues.


    "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." ~ Ronald Reagan

    The Moment of Remembrance is a step in the right direction to returning the meaning back to the day. What is needed is a full return to the original day of observance. Set aside one day out of the year for the nation to get together to remember, reflect and honor those who have given their all in service to their country.
