*I got the following comment and advice from our Duffer Tech Head:

It takes about 30 seconds before it plays. But I like to download the linked file* and then watch it in the stand alone player. This way you can see the download progress and resize the video.

*To do this, you can right click and select "Save Target as" With the Quicktime player, you can stop the video and copy an individual frame.

When I open a Rich Storm creation, I usually laugh out loud and spit out my coffee, as my wife yells, "Mike Presecky sending you pictures again?" The latest picture had me puzzled, because this was a dead ringer for a former colleague of mine. This happened only once before when Boris looked so much like Dr. Evil that I didn't get it until I studied the picture. The picture below came with a hint that said, "Looking for a job". With that hint, I was able to look closely and see a young Duffer in that face and not the star of the movie, "Stripes". Way back in the early 1960s, when I was teaching children from the Robert Taylor Homes at 47th and State Street, a young man left his job at Playboy Magazine to join our teaching staff. He ate lunch with us (5 White Guys) every day. We asked him why he would leave a cushy job at Playboy to dodge bullets in the Robert Taylor Homes neighborhood. He told us he was talking advantage of the Draft deferment that was being offered to teachers. He figured the the Viet Cong had better aim than the Robert Taylor Thugs. We also had a Harvard Law School grad join our staff. He started his law practice after the war ended. We had many laugh filled lunches with Harold, where we exchanged college and life stories. Harold Ramos later became famous after the war, when he went to work at National Lampoon and started writing hit comedy movies, starting with Animal House, Groundhog Day, Meat balls, Analyze That and many more. (Animal House had more than one of the stories that were shared at our table) He later went on to act in Stripes and the Ghost Buster movies.


Hacksaw gives the Flea a yellow card as He tries to add a soccer flavor to the game. The only problem with that is we had more goals in one game than the Fire had all season.	The Anvil takes a break after stopping 60 pucks in the first 2 periods.
