Sometimes, I think that the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe, is that none of it has ever tried to contact us... Calvin and Hobbs.
I doff my cap in your general direction sir.
That is a truly beautiful job of work. I trust that it is being put to good use and actually enjoyed by a very happy owner. I don't envy the dusting though...
keep up the great and inspirational work.
