Well, I just got back from a week out in the woods teaching a search and survival course.

Guess my first day back at the keyboard, got me thinking too deep......

Put me in the "this moves me" camp. Really is a homerun as far as I'm concerned. I like some of the subtle touches, like the football and Snoopy's goggles.

Just a guess, but I imagine that it moves certain people because it represents lost innocence.
Screw the stupid story in the link. People here were commenting before the link was presented. In this drawing, Charlie Brown has grown up. He has his familiar football, and his faithful dog Snoopy with him. All the bullying he took as a child has made him tough enough to survive in a hostile land. Thoughts of Peggy Jean are distant and infrequent memories, supplanted by more pressing thoughts of making it through another day.

Childhood shows the man, as morning shows the day.

I was able to tip it on its side and roll it into my daughter's room, who was away at school.



While at the hardware store I saw a paint bucket and remembered that I often stood on them so they had to be strong. So I modified it a little:



I needed something to hold it neck down, but with access to keep clearing its neck.



I then planned to roll it up a temporary ramp and then with the aid of gravity let it slide down on top of the bucket.

But...

After rolling it several times around on the carpet, when it got to the top of the wood ramp, some atom bumped some molecule, and with no warning, the need for access to clear the neck came to quite an abrupt end.



No one was harmed in this production, but we spent a LOT of time picking out circa 1950 shards of lass from the pile - many of which were shaped like the swords Isis uses to do their evil.







It filled six bags @ 30 lbs each.

I really hope you went through all that change looking for the silver quarters worth a couple bucks apeice. Your eyes would have been buggy from looking at dates, but richer for the effort.

Anything full silver pre-65, like dimes and quarters and wheat pennies, unless he did that while dropping the change into the thing.
