->> Dan,
It's a jackrabbit, but it works.


Andrew,
Speaking stuffed sheep; the Mid-west Stud Ram and Sheep Show and Sale is taking place in Sedalia, Mo., this weekend. If you have twenty bucks I'm sure I could get you a woolly Hampshire ewe for your very own.

Just Kidding.

What kind of crap do you all keep on your desks at work? In my case old film gear are the centerpieces desktop collection.

->> lots and lots of newspapers...

film canisters and my loved copy of the AP Stylebook (I do some reporting and news-writing as well.)

I keep my first cover shot of our paper hung on my wall too.

there's also many random books in the corner: poetry, Dante's Inferno, Leaves of Grass, etc., etc.
