The targeted dog snorts and puff and tries to rub its nose in the grass... and squeals. Poor thing! But the lesson is powerful and lasting.

Plugging into the wall tomorrow should fix it, right? Please?

EDIT: 3 hrs later, it's no longer a brick. YAY!!

It was an ebook reader, then a brick, and now it's not. I don't get it, DG. You have a shape shifter? And if it's no longer a brick, what is it now - a persimmon?

We finished the indoor soccer season yesterday evening and we won't start the summer season before may15th. 3 weeks without running will feel like dying when we start back. And the weather is not promising for jogging or cycling. :grumblegrumble: And I loathe running in public without the ball!
Heh! I can just picture myself running along the road with the ball at my feet. Guaranteed head turning: "Wassat big guy doin'ere!"

I tried every bit of advice from MR and Sony, then re-installed the firmware, then tried other things. Finally, the light turned from blinking yellow to red like it was charging, so I jumped back and left it alone. About an hour later, my computer beeped and the reader began that "starting up" malarky. I pulled the USB cable, and it went to the book list, just like nothing ever happened. Now it's just fine, except I have to re-install my clock and stuff.

Sorry! I couldn't resist.

Looking at it further, that image is part of a painting isn't it?
The study is pretty good and the lighting pretty special. It looks like it comes from a staged set. You have a good eye for interesting things VR.

Well, you caught me, Yvan. I was thinking of converting and posting a children's book PDF that was on the Library of Congress site. As I was paging through it looking at the images, I saw myself in the corner of one of them and so I cropped it so you could see me better.

Do you mean:

1. There is a picture of a dog hidden in the spots.

2. VR stands for Voluminous Rump.

3. A big tail is in accordance to your... *harrumph* proportions.

4. You have silky white hair.

5. My post on #2828.

For some reason I never noticed it before, but my office smells like mold. Barf. They never clean this place...

Ah,yes! The proverbial Rorschach horse rump.

My apologies VR I was blinded by your supreme dadaism there.

I sort of recognize that horse's @ss. Is it one of the ponies of Chincoteague? Or else Napoleon's horse from that weird painting by David where Nappy is painted from an angle that makes the horse look much too small?
