Beautiful. I am a pinball fanatic. I used to own a Captain Fantastic along with two or three others, plus a TRON arcade upright. Neat stuff.

Interesting homepage. i found a standard poodle this past summer. It walked up onto my deck while I was lying in the sun and scared the crap out of me. It wouldn't let me near it but kept hanging around the deck, not running away. I called the local animal shelter who told me someone had reported it missing but they wouldnt give me their name or phone # so I told them if they called back to have them give me a call. Meanwhile I went back out on the deck and the dog finally came to trust me and walked up and sat next to my loung chair and let me start petting it. Darndest thing I had ever seen.

it then let me put a leash on it and walked quietly beside me around the house to the garage.

Eventually the shelter called me back and gave me the number of the owners who happened to be in the neighborhood looking for the dog and the two sons drove over and picked her up. She had actually strayed from about 2 1/2 miles away through many subdivisions.

I was really impressed by her temperament, her gentleness and her obvious intelligence.
