DUDE!!!
Welcome back to the fire!! I just noticed you returned. I've been wondering how you've been doing for years. If you are serious about moving to Texas some day, drop me a line. I have contacts all over the place and will happily try and find you a job, house, dog, and edible plants.

As for me being a moderator, as far as I can tell it was more of everyone else stepping back instead of me stepping forward. After a while I was close to pulling my own CK-act when Hikin_Jim, Nighthiker, Tyber, and Chaosmagnet pulled me back from the edge. They do all the heavy lifting now, I just get to bust heads. It's very therapeutic.
