    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Pic of the week game

Going for dorkburger's effort at artistic rendering of the theme,
...
 
Hope you all had a great Christmas. I'm going with Dorkburger's this week, quite the effort put into it with great results.
 
OK...It's after noon eastern time, so let's tally up!

I count one vote each for Grimly, Baatfam, and 1978GS750E.
Two votes each for Steve Murdoch, Sandy, and dorkburger.

And with three votes, our winner is Burque73!

(If someone could confirm? Thanks!)

Count looks good, Bob. Going to have to think on this a bit for a new theme.

Oh man, supposed to be at mother-in-law's house in a bit for football and nachos. Hmmmmmm I have an idea, be back shortly.
 
How about for this theme, being the last week of the year and all, we let our pics speak to the year 2020.


 
Hum..... will have to look thru pics of this year. Can think of one or two that might apply.
 
This is an excellent and challenging theme. Image as metaphor. I expect the evocative images already posted will no doubt prompt many more.
Nothing in my pic file rises to the occasion.
 
Hum.....
Now..... I am starting to better understand what might be limiting my photo work.

Dave, regarding my post- I took that pic back in September and didn't give it much consideration. After reading this week's theme and reviewing my cycle pics from this year, hindsight suddenly made that pic very relevant to me.
 
This year was a wreck!

THis spring, during stay home order, I did go for a few short rides out-of-town.
Then when restrictions lifted some, this was my first ride into town, first occasion to be out in public with a mask.
Stopped at this popular place. So was a significant event for me.

That yellow-white building has been there for decades and decades, making and selling these ProntoPups. Is well know and quite an attraction here. Somewhat like corn-dogs but are much better than what you might think.
A few weeks later the owner makes a facebook post arguing against facemasks and virus and other stuff.
