Welcome to the Bi-toom-inous Coalbin!

Churchy LaFemme: Seem like you is in a mood to make weighty remarks... say somethin' HEAVY, Porky.

Porkypine: Fourteen ton of BI-toom-inous coal.

Churchy (with angst and woe): See -- you pokes FUN at me -- when I WANTS to be serious, ever'body jes' go: HA HA...

Porky: Can't be serious durin' workin' hours.

Churchy (hiding behind tree trunk): We could step ahind of this tree an' have a serious discussion --- nobody'd see us ---
Go ahead --- say somethin' weightier'n what you did.

Porky: FIFTEEN ton of BI-toom-inous coal.

Churchy scowls blackly from behind tree as Porky adds: I got a million of 'em.

About me, Ellen K Hursh:

This is an unreasonable facsimile of what I look like.

I was born in the wagon of a travelin' show Anchorage, Alaska. I share a birthday with skateboarder Tony Hawk, movie make-up artist Paul "Squiffy" Jones and Polish actor Jacek Braciak . I am married, with two fur-kids and a nice - if occasionally leaky during heavy rain - house in Champaign-Urbana (in East Central Illinois).  Some semi-arty photos of the area.
