Benzart, thank you so much for the information on the Optima burner! Even better! At that price Buzzy can afford to buy one for each of us! :) Thank you for your words of wisdom about creating Maori art. I have the highest respect for the Maori people, and am in awe of their creations. I feel like I can't learn enough about it. What I would give to be able to sit with a Maori chief, and listen to all his stories. He could tell me all about the details of his life through his Moko. Wouldn't that be great? Although I don't know any chiefs I have the next best thing, you Benzart! You're my chief, and I feel privileged to learn from you.

Buzzy! I can always count on you to make me laugh. That picture of Mike Tyson is still killing me! It reminds me of that girl I saw in line at Subway the other day with the Maori tattoo on her neck. I actually felt sorry for her because she was clueless as to the disrespect she was showing by having that tattoo. She was just some teenager standing there with her beach gear on and her big foamy flip flops. It was way out of place. I loved when you referred to the book talking about the tattoos being drawn as a signature, that was my favorite part too. It made me start thinking about the signature I'm going to create for myself. I'll work on that while I'm on vacation. I'm excited because I know that when you look at it you'll know right away that it's me.

Hewey, actually I think that when Buzzy buys more tools he should just start buying two of everything. None of this sharing business. What do you think? :) Oh, and by the way, don't be surprised if we pop in on you in the near future! I work for a big travel agency in San Diego, and get the opportunity to travel quite a bit. Of course our list of places to go is pretty long, but here's the top two....

  1. Port Saint Lucie, Florida
  2. Sydney, Australia

Maybe we'll see you early next year when it's your summer! No worries about the tiki bars. Actually what I'd really like to do is hit the beach and take pictures of Buzzy surfing the Great Barrier Reef! Now that's a vacation! Let's see, where's my calendar...

In the mean time I'm leaving early in the morning for a 2 week vacation in Cape Cod. I'm going to have a lot of catching up to do in Tiki Central when I get back, but over the next couple of weeks I hope to relax, do some drawing, spend a lot of time at the beach and have some lobster! Poor Buzzy, what's he going to do without me? Most likely he'll get even more work done! I'll probably get back and the whole house and yard will be filled with tikis again! Lookout, Buzzy's Unleashed!!

Thanks everyone, and I'll talk to you soon.
