Mine is due to my dislike of anything related to MS Windoze and that I love my Mac's at home running.... I'll let you guess..

If you look close there is a little square just at the south east corner of Shelbyville. The south east corner of that square comes within about 1200' of touching the north west corner of my north west field. We also have a rental house, a small commercial building and 17 acres of woods, rocks and river (Big Flatrock River) in the next county east at the village of Moscow (is on that map). BTW, it is pronounced Moscow like "coe" not like the Russian city like "cow"... If you go there and say it wrong twice someone will correct you... Last year a tornado leveled an ancient very long covered that passed over our land there along with about 6 acres of my woods. That was one reason I went ahead and bought a sawmill last winter. There is little commercial value to those hundreds of storm damaged logs but I can take my time and salvage an awfully lot of useful lumber out of them. The government gave me a 12 man crew of prison laborers and the use of several pieces of equipment with operators for about two weeks to clean up just the mess on my property. It was all in the river valley (flood zone) and it had to be cleared before high water. They knew that it was cheaper to use me as a supervisor for free with volunteer prison labor than to do a full contracted clean-up and I also preferred it that way.
Here is a link to a site (not mine) that has before and after pictures of the bridge but it does not show the general damage to the area.

A lady who lived just East of the bridge was killed. Not only were many homes destroyed or nearly so I saw some large farm equipment in one field that was physically ripped in half. Scary.
This thing passed within about 5 miles of my house at Shelbyville and almost wiped out another village (Middletown) between here and Moscow.
I don't like tornadoes.

Yikes! That's one sort of storm we never get here in sunny So-Cal..

It would simply be dusty but when I attempted to use it as my user name there was already a dusty registered.

woodworker was simply an add on to what I wanted for a username.

I picked up the dusty because SHMBO was for ever telling me to "Clean up before you come in here. You're all "dusty"".

I'm a bit of a clock nut. Especially wood works clocks.

I'm sure you have figured mine out First name Mark last name starts with B and cabinetmaking is my profession.

=====================

Not much here, had a boss one time that had the saying for the team that we stamped on all the paperwork that was MFS stood for Marked for Success. The rest is my initials and name. Have so many sign ons and pass words needed something easy to remember.

Mine is a nickname that I (and my brothers) have had since we were kids. Based on our last name.
Amazingly enough, I'm able to use this userID on almost every site I'm a member of.
