Why Did You Choose Your Username And Avatar?

A variation on Mozambique where I lived, worked for five years, met my partner and had my children - and my name Peter.

Avatar is the spline I milled - probably the most complicated thing I had attempted at the time (which is not saying much) - and it worked so I was pretty proud of it.
 
I chose Sandia, as that is the little town we live close to. Real name is Robert Wayne, nick named Bob all my life.
The Avatar was my passions all my life, old cars and street rods. Drove one all thru high school and built and owned them all my life. The pictured car was the last one, sold it to a great guy in Santa Maria, CA last July.

I'd had always admired Benjamin Franklin. So I borrowed his user name as my own. In his case, Ben worked for his brother that he did not get along with. At night, Ben would pass his articles under the door signed by "Silence Dogood" and his brother would print them in his newspaper. I should use an avatar of Ben Franklin. just never got around to it. Silence Dogood AKA Mark
 
Username was my small shops name for some 30 years . Avatar is a pic of my faithful Sheltie , "Roxy" ( the Princess) . After 7 years of chasing cars , she finally caught one and didn't fair to well . We miss her to this day .

Below is a picture of Roxy's nephews , Cooper and Charlie , along with Holly who came from Massachusetts . They belong behind bars !! LMAO !!
