Thank you Iron Monkey!

Truly a beautiful portrait. An art that I can appreciate.

If you visit the eastern slope of the Rockies you know the Colorado often envisioned is gone. And Californians are not appreciated!!

By the way, my vote for Jesse's new home is Santa Fe.

I have family in Colorado. My uncle Cas founded an oil company, Sundance Oil, and was one of the group of oil men operating out of Denver. We used to go out to visit him, and head to a cabin he owned along one of the major trout routes, to go fishing. That was some good eating and some great memories.
I'll be in Santa Fé later this year, but it's not where I bought a home.

The truth is that Jesse's moving to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to be with his fellow punks.

Thanks for clearing that up, Jim.

TheIronMonkey, what a wonderful caricature! Brilliant!
Jesse, you've been deservedly immortalized.
Congratulations, and a much belated Happy Birthday.

Congratulations! You’re down to only 48 states that hate you!... Progress is progress.

Damn. And here I was trying to offend Puerto Rico and Guam....

I am the unworthy recipient of a fabulous birthday gift from Iron Monkey and unworthy for so many reasons, among them that it’s taken me weeks get around to sharing it.
Between work and packing for a move I just kept not getting to it. But I could have found a moment somewhere, so, unworthy.
I am still well and truly gobsmacked.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Oh man, that's fantastic!
Especially with a Barling motor dome!

Wow, what an amazing, generous, and one-of-a-kind gift. @TheIronMonkey you are a very talented artist.

Happy belated Birthday @sablebrush52, and I hope your move was not too stressful.
