I got fried a job not for looking at porn but for having a screen saver of the Salma Hayek from Dusk to Dawn with a snake around her. That was the technical reason(IBM in Sterling Forest NY is a beautiful work site).

I don't really know Wayne Wong, and neither did wikipedia.

Scotty...casting you away for enjoying Ms. Hayek = that is LOW! ..talk about needing to get a life.

Non-skiing..and I apologize for the following ramble;-), but flyfishing = kind of fun in the springtime = just gets one outdoors once skiing in NewEngland is done....chalk it up to spending a little time outdoors with famous author and all the while thinking this is just a fellow flyfisherman with a nice antique of an auto.
Making this a little shorter;-)......having lost photograph of famous author of flyfishing book or two, or three(Ernie Schwiebert)..cause I opened one of his books so many times that I ripped the paper so much I just ended up tossing..of course his pic was on inside cover...of course in 1977, early May I spent a few hours talking trout flies and enjoying a beautiful early Spring day along Vermont's Battenkill River a few miles from flowing into NYS(was my home territory) with this guy in a 50s-60s style icelantic sweater and hat and this showroom black car(make??) polished chrome & all...from the 50s....and I never knew he was at the time. Only a few years later at an annual Worcester Centrum Fishing Show did I see this same guy while he's showing slides of Alaska, Chile, and Argentina. He got a chuckle hearing how I'd worn out the paper cover..but he remembered(or said so) and said that he really enjoyed being alone without anyone watching his every move...
Earlier this last decade(I think) he passed away...was a gracious as they come for an author... but talk about embarrassment once I saw him for who he was...:roll: ...but he made it all go away with a few laughs.
