Nothing profound or exciting in this post. Just wanted to show off my signature now that I actually have one. Always liked this quote and came across it again recently. No graphics or pics yet. Still working on it...slowly.

Sweet. I like a bit of Eric.
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

So what happens if the good people stay awake? Does that make them rough men? When do rough men sleep? Come on, if you're going to post a quote like that, you have to give us the answers!

Okay then. If the good people stay awake they can still do whatever they're doing in peace, knowing that the same rough men will do violence on their behalf no matter their state of activity. Those good people who are awake can be the rough men in the qoute should they choose to volunteer to do it. Rough men sleep, although sometimes not for 48 and 72 hour stretches, but when they do sleep they sleep in shifts so that there is always security.

According to this image's caption, Moses drove off the rough men. Now what?
