My avatar comes from "2001 A Space Odyssey" where astronauts David Bowman and Frank Poole, are in a space pod having a discussion. I chose it for it makes me think of each one of us coming together to talk things out. It makes me also think of the Bible verse Isaiah 41:21 where God says let us reason together saith the Lord.

Great movie. Gotta watch that one again sometime.

Your avatar looks like someone that might appear in your bathroom mirror in the middle of the night -- the woman who used to live in your house in the 1800s. lol

Hopefully not in a Stephen King book though or it might reach out from the mirror and grab you around the neck. :)

Out of respect for other posters, I would not get to specific about any posters avatars unless they themselves bring it up here.

I've pretty much felt the need to restrain from posting of late, for me too many rabbit holes beckon. The photo I use simply recalls a time in my life and defines even today memories ever a deep part of me.

My avatar is Leonardo DaVinci's drawing known as Vitruvian Man. It's his depiction of supposedly ideal human proportions and their relationship to geometric forms. He based it on the ideas of a Roman architect, Vitruvius. I use it to symbolize reason, curiosity, inventiveness, objectivity, and analytical thinking--all qualities that Leonardo embodied. And which I try to incorporate into my posts. I hope I'm honoring the memory of the greatest Renaissance man who ever lived. And if Leonardo was alive and on-line today, he'd be tagging my posts with Like, Agree, and Winner ratings.

He wouldn't be online. The suggestion that there could be "ideal human proportions" would get him cancelled immediately. :)

As the avatar states - "Instant nice person... just add coffee".

But the trouble starts if I go through caffeine withdrawal ... Jekyll becomes Hyde!!

Tulc could use this as well, but he'd say "add LOTS of coffee".

My avatar is a photo of me walking along the canal that runs past my home. This time of year walkers are rewarded with the sight of colourful barges passing by, randomly adorned with paraphernalia. The drivers always appear happy, relaxed and content until they discover that they have several locks to navigate.

Mine is either what happens when you try to grasp wind, what happens when you wind your watch too tight or else it is the actual fabled After Wind.
Is your screen name a typo? That's what I've always thought. If so, why haven't you had it changed after all these years?
