It goes way back to something I vaugly remember from the very early SNL skits. Something to do with the sacrafice of a rubber chicken. And when I was in Norman OK installing the prototype of NEXRAD, the klystron was pretty old, made in 1978. And the thing was so touchy the hardware guys hung a rubber chicken on the klystron cabinet with a sign "In case of emergency swing chicken".

Thank you. I want a lot of them too. It was nice to see a lot of the pinks in person. Hollywood Star opens after Star Appeal. Now I am happy for both. (Hollywood star is on order this year.). I will share more later. The SLR pictures are on the desktop.

HighdesertNiki said:Paul Black showed up and gave each of my kids a stem of Iris. He asked my daughter what her favorite color was, but surrounded by such beauty she couldn't choose. She was very excited to meet one of the hybridizers. My son took a lot of pictures. My daughter next to Gasper and Having a party. You can also see how glorious the display bed is.
