Maybe it was Jack Nicholson from "The Shining"......."Here's Johnny".....:1rotf l:

Golfing Eagles, it cracks me up when you crack yourself up!

No door bell? If my door bell rings no problem but if somebody is knocking I am on point. I will go with a "snowbird" who was lost

Usually when someone knocks on our door, it's FedEx or UPS or the postal station leaving a package.

True. And Beau barks. But no one left a package at the door.

One of the best devices I've ever purchased. If I'm in the home and someone starts toward the front door, the motion sensor activates my phone and if I don't know them, I'm opening the door to surprise them before they have a chance to ring the bell. They all seem to have this "oh crap" look on their face.

It was Chevy Chase.

[Scene: Interior: The Villages home. There is a knock at the door.]

Tal: [speaking through closed door] Yes?
Voice: (mumbling) Mr. Arlsburgerhhh?
Tal: Who?
Voice: (mumbling) Mr. Johannesburrrr?
Tal: Who is it?
Voice: [pause] Flowers.
Tal: Flowers for whom?
Voice: [long pause] Plumber, sir.
Tal: I don't need a plumber. You're that clever shark, aren't you?
Voice: [pause] Candygram.
Tal: Candygram, my foot! You get out of here before I call the police! You're the shark, and you know it!
Voice: Wait. I-I'm only a dolphin, sir.
Tal: A dolphin? Well... Okay. [opens door]
[Huge latex and foam-rubber shark head lunges through open door, chomps down on Tal's head, and drags him out of the house, as Jaws attack music plays. Beau barks.]

My 224 613 Project seems to have taken off so I have been a little worried about sharks of another nature knocking on my door. It was going good too around 1999 but that did not turn out really well. I seem to have someone with some real juice helping me with it but I really do not know what is going on with it. Some of my old e-mails surface like some kind of Moby Dick but I am usually not the person or organization or whatever bringing this whale back to the surface.

Hope all goes well.

Thanks. We are prepared I hope. If anyone wants to know what I am talking about Google Taltarzac725. It should come up. I did talk a little bit about this with Gary Corsair-- a Villages Daily Sun reporter back on the weekend before Memorial Day in 2007 but I just met him and did not show him these documents that are now on there. He did write a short article in the Villages Daily Sun that was published on Memorial Day of 2007 which is one of these documents.
