I still think those woodpeckers are extinct. The ones popping up lately are
probably fossilized mamoth or walrus tusk-billed woodpeckers (I've even
heard speculation they may be Graph Tech).

My wife and I took our daughter to the mall to put in some requests to Santa last night, and stopped at Olga's on our way out for a bite to eat. I can't be sure (I've never personally met the man) but I could swear I saw the elusive Hesh walking past the window. We were trapped in a back corner booth of a busy restaurant so there was no way to get out to attempt to make contact. I didn't have time to snap a photo for verification, as my mouth was full of gyro and my hands a little too greazy to snatch up the camera. I'll have to keep my eye out more carefully, as since we probably live a few miles apart at most it's sure to be only a matter of time before I spot him again. |

Sounds kinda like the sighting of the "extinct" ivory-billed woodpecker here in Arkansas awhile back. Pretty exciting. Ron |

Shucks, I guess the photos I've seen of you on the forum were less than accurate (There were some in which you looked rather feminine, but I had a sneaking suspicion they may have been Photoshoped  ).
Oh well, one of these days. I'd love to have a mini local gathering at my shop, but right now it's still quite jumbled up. I finally got power to most of the new tool room and ran water lines to the new humidifier. I spent most of last night building and Formica-ing a new sink counter. There's still a lot of work to do, but I'm hoping to have it presentable by shortly after the holidays. We'll have to get Jim Howell, Lance and whoever else is from the area over at some point. Anyway, I hope all is going well, and I'll still be on the look out for possible sightings.  |

Maybe it was a furry billed Heshpecker? They look quite similar!
Where's my Fireworks icon?
