Only I'd create a Revolutionary War cartoon character at the height of the Hippie Days. Everyone else was worrying about the future, the war--or the antiwar. All I cared about was the past and going back. Figures.
Anyway, he'll be assisting me in making my point from now on.
Sol's motto is “those who forget history are doomed to repeat it,” or something like that. I think a Greek historian said that once, but I can't remember who. I guess I'm doomed to repeat the quote since I can't remember the guy's name.
Anyway, I've decided to resurrect Sol and give him a 21st century sensibility, but leave him in the 18th. I'm his opposite, I guess. I live in the 21st century, but have an 18th century sensibility. Or so it seems sometimes.
But, at least we share a single common belief: sometimes things don't make sense. Especially technological things. In fact, most technological things don't make any sense at all.
So, welcome Sol. I look forward to your making periodic appearances here in the future. And yes, your nose is almost as long as your face.
Welcome, Sol, nice to meetcha. Any relation to San Francisco's Emperor Norton?

Awesome, Lisa. Sol certainly could be related, if what I found on the web about Emperor Norton is true. The thing is, though, Sol has more wits about him.
