A Train to Nowhere

[silverfox]

I got into a conversation with a member regarding their Avatar. Thought I'd been clever and figured out the basis for the Avatar. Turns out not to be the case. In the process I was going to send a Pic regarding the Avatar but couldn't. Well, in this day and age you don't want to hint you'll send a pic and not be clear on the content. So here is the picture that started the conversation. As well as the associated image of my Avatar. I just never got around to making one yet.

Image coming.

"Avatar" is usually considered the image.

....an avatar is the graphical representation of the user or the user's alter ego or character.

Some have noticed "my" image. He is the real star of the Venture Brothers TV cartoon, super-science adventures in the Jonny Quest and Tom Swift Jr. mold.

Rusty Venture ...There is some question as to his actual degree of ability in the nebulously defined field of super-science. ...with his shoddy attempts at genuine technological innovation typically resulting in utter debacle....

That's me to a tee.

And FWIW, I was born rusty-headed (....even the beard goes grey...) And have worn glasses all my life (this may change- the glasses are not enough now).

No relations to the initials used as my account handle. The PRR was a good road for a decade or two, but had a century of uninspiring chug-chug, and some bad mergers 1968-. They came so far down, Google "PRR" and Podiatry Residency Resource comes up first.

Thanks for the efforts. We actually caught one of the Foxes here on first arrival. At the time small, in a varmint trap. I was previously experienced with the ferocity of a wild animal as my Dad had brought home some baby raccoons in early life. He put a glove on and tried to pet one. Anyway, demonstrated how vicious and wild a cute little fox in a cage could be by offering it an Olive branch, so to speak. They got the message. Despite all of my efforts not to be seen releasing it on a back dirt road, at the moment of opening the cage inside the van, a car rounded the corner from seemingly nowhere. All's well ended well. The best laid plans and all...
