Hi. I'm from the northern suburbs of Philadelphia and I'm retired. My friends recently bought a home with some acreage in Potter County, PA about 10 miles from Cherry Springs State Park, one of the darkest places on the continent (yes it surprised me too). I found only one thread about the park on the site and I hope to take Nancy and get up there and visit soon.
I'll finish reading all of the stickies, learn what I can and buy my first REAL laser after a lot of studying. So far it's been an interesting read.

Welcome, Sluggo. The name reminds me of an old newspaper "funnies" character. I too am retired and a senior citizen, but unlike BowtieGuy, I've not heard of you before now. If you are interested in lasers, this is a great place to learn much about them and many members here are willing to help with any questions you might have.

I haven't seen that in more years than I care to count. I know the artist is not the original one as he has been dead for years. I had no idea it was still up and running.
That stamp is 22 years old.

Yeah, that's just a random pic I used that had both Nancy and Sluggo in it. It's still going strong.


Here's the Wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_(comic_strip))

Huh. We don't get it here. I really thought that comic had been retired many years ago. Learn something new every day.

Welcome to the LPF!
You will find an awesome community here. Make sure you get knowledge about safety too. I guess you will have a lot of free space for laser stuff now.
Enjoy your stay here and lasers as well...

too true Paul--that goes WAY BACK--(time for the 'way-back machine'--remember that?? Rocky and Bullwinkle)(LOL)
to the OP please go ahead and put Philly in your personal profile so it shows under your username when you make threads and posts..

BTW-- do you know SAM?????

'If you don't know SAM you don't know lasers'
search SAM's Laser FAQ-- and get ready for years of reading--
I got to hang with Sam at two SELEM events and he had a bed in our suite--(that was sweet)he is 10 min from Philly..so you are blessed with that!!!

Len

WELCOME

Sure, I remember that. Mr. Peabody was originally voiced by Don Adams, IIRC.
