Saw this and thought the Empress would be interested not just in poor little James but in the slide show of his cousin William at flight school.

Yeah, I know. Now I'm thinking about doing a card with more than 4 pictures so I can use this one: [link]

All is well that ends in pizza.

Long story short, Silver van died last Thursday night.

Silver van was dead off the side of the highway that runs right past a junkyard.

Called Junkyard Friday, told them to pick it up, I'll settle with them on my day off.

Junkyard guy calls on Monday (Unbeknownst to me) say he couldn't find it on Friday (no way he should have been able to miss it.) but other junkyard guy apparently said they knew where it was.

Called Junkyard today, No, they could not find it.

Called Police, no, they transferred me to county, no they transferred me to state police. Yes, they designated it an abandoned vehicle and Absolut [sic] Towing came and towed it.

Caleld absolut towing and the guy says I have to pay $160+ for towng and storage, or he could junk it and I still would have to pay $65 for towing.

Called Junkyard, was referred to owner. Owner says the towing company guy has rocks in his head. He'll make some calls.

Junkyard owner calls back. he could not get ahold of towing company guy, but called the other towing company in town and they both say it's BS. Besides that, the first towing company did not notify me within 5 days that he had picked it up. Pursuant to Mn State law 168B-06, they have to notify me.

Now I have to go meet Absolut guy guy and try to not pay for the tow, rather than getting the $ for the vehicle that junkyard was going to give me.

I just don't want to keep asking for changes to a design where the artist has done a good job, but is missing the point.

that's the point. And, honestly, it's probably your friend's doing for not communicating that properly.

Design through a middle man is probably not a very good idea, generally.

FWIW, I like your original a lot better. In addition to being not very logoy, the other two kind of have people faces, which is disturbing.

I agree with brenda. Also, the new ones are very long and kind of off-putting and yours is round and welcoming.

Me three. Yours has the round-puppy-head kind of cuteness, and the artist's has the long-adult-head... notness. Silly.

Compassionately intolerant

that's the point. And, honestly, it's probably your friend's doing for not communicating that properly.

I have a feeling she didn't say, take what we have here and make it better. She's wonderful for wanting my stuff to be more professional and, in the end, for me to be more successful. But her idea of professional is pretty stark.

My first take on the first sketch was 'huh, Cindy Brady...on acid.'

round and welcoming.

See? You all get it. That is exactly what I was going for with the roundness. Welcoming!

Well, that feels better. Thanks. Now I think I can say 'no thanks' without feeling ungrateful.

Much obliged. Very much obliged.

Gah! Absolut guy still doggedly insisting if I don't pay towing and turn over vehicle, he will submit storage and towing to collections after 30 days.

Now Junkyard owner wants me to go to someone and talk to him to convince me Absolut guy is full of it.

t headdesk I was going to nap this afternoon.
