Greetings to everyone...
I have been lurking in the shadows for a short time, reading posts here and there and in general enjoying what I see here. So I'm signing on, with no promises to post very much but with an interest to meet some of you.

I'm writing from upstate NY, where we've seen all four seasons inthe last 24 hours. I'm seriousl -- hail, fog, rain, sunshine, now a clear summery night. Are the rest of you jealous?

Anyhow, I'm going to peruse some other topics, but thanks for having me here...I can already feel the time-"wasting" vortex pulling me in...

anyhoo - enjoy your stay.

Welcome, Platypus26! Put your webbed feet up and sit a spell.

Welcome, platypus!

Wow,
You guys must have that newfangled DSL or something

Yeah, I'm working on the photo thing...at least you can see me from the artsy angle now. (and if you look REAL close, in the water, maybe my platypus alter ego too.)

thanks for the warm welcome(s).

Welcome, Platypus! It's always interesting to meet someone with whom I share a name. Glad to know you're here.

Welcome, platypus!

Hello Platypus,
Welcome aussi.
That b/w photo in your avatar is lovely.
Enjoy your stay.

Welcome to the orchard, platypus! I lived upstate myself (near Cortland) for a number of years in my youth.

We're all pretty well-disposed toward oviparous mammals here. There is nothing I consider wasted about the time I've spent on this forum, by the way. Well, maybe a few of Walrus's posts.

Welcome to the Orchard! Glad you found us!
