The money clip part is pretty tight, and will only hold a few bills. I'm a big cash guy and carry a gangsta roll. I tried to bend the clip open a bit and it snapped off. Dang! Because I do so like the rest of the package. Back to square one...

I found it after googling "ipad wallpaper" and thought, I have to spread this one around.

As for the Ridge, I opted for the strap not the clip. (Yes, I chose my own gift). I wonder if they'll let you make an exchange.

This is similar to the RFD wallet I carry.
It does not allow me to carry a lot of crap in my wallet, and i don't care it it scratches or get banged up.

I'll give that a try. It is way to cool to not make it work.

I found it after googling "ipad wallpaper" and thought, I have to spread this one around.

By the way, I did search for the original image to at least mention the artist's name or source site, but all I found was other people and sites who ripped it off, like I did.

The EXIF data for the image says "Copyright Apple Inc., 2017", and next to that it says "description: Display P3" (no idea what that means).

Oh I do, Xan. It was the club in Charmed.

Mark, did you briefly have an avatar of yourself hiking with a woman — a striking resemblance — or did I dream that?

Edit: I don’t know why I wrote “mom” earlier, except that I was receiving updates from mine on her eye surgery. Scatterbrain, i am.

I did. A little mountain goat that spends her vacation time trying to kill me.
She's retiring next year. We're negotiating.

I met her 25 years ago on a hippy bus tour through Mexico. She was the driver and tour guide - and a commanding presence. As I was pretty much the only other adult in the crowd, we hit it off well. You have to take your time with these things...

Edit: Photo removed to reduce the chances that I am murdered in my sleep.

I love it.

Lady on the train panicked when I took off my mask after sitting down, but visibly relaxed when she saw I was having a coffee.

Remember: I drink coffee to keep you safe, you drink coffee to keep me safe.

Love the avatar Tortoise. In that spirit, I heard in order to level the playing field, Ozzy Osborn was going to debate Biden.

Thanks, Mountaineer! My previous pandemic-themed avatar was starting to show its age -- much like Biden.

Just doing my part to get people revved up for the coming slaughter... er, debates.

@dualstow, what’s the English translation of the text in your new avatar?

"Want to take a hike?" (Literally "Climb a mountain together?")
It's just a show that my wife is watching. Very popular now.
It's about evil deeds, not mountain climbing.

It’s on some Chinese website.

Loving the new avatar, dualstow! Very topical.

My favourite episode of the Simpsons will always be the Stonecutter one.

Ha, thanks
It was stuck in my mind’s eye, so i went with it.

Is it too soon to start dropping the election-related avatars so we can start getting back to normal?

Does that mean I should also be getting the Obama / Biden sticker off the back of my car that was there when I bought the car in December 2013?

I wouldn't, Vinny. I think it makes a real statement on a never washed car.

You DO have an EXCELLENT memory!!!!

All the recent avatars are pleasing to the eye.

If it hasn’t been mentioned, Smith’s is a Russian known as “muscle Barbie.”

She's "the one" for sure!

She’s real?? I thought that photo was shopped. Mind blown.
