I think that Pavlov was the man who conducted experiments with dogs and
bells but I am not exactly sure what those experiments were in my mind.  I
believe that you have done well on that particular sculpture and it is nice
to know that you are so varied in your works of art.  I like the fact that
you think in a similar manner to my life, at least when it concerns LEGO
structures, but you may have missed my earlier posts about anime and normal
human characters.  I wish they would make peach, light purple, dark red,
dark green, and dark purple LEGO bricks, LEGO plates, and LEGO pieces.  I am
not sure what the title of that post is but I will tell you when i do
discover what the name of the post is on this bulletin board.

P.S.  Auburn is not that far from Mobile, is it, Eric?  I have a brother who
lives in a town near Mobile so maybe if I am on vacation we could create
some sculptures together, Eric.
