What is 120inna55?
It's my online alias. Just google "120inna55" and you'll see where I've been. A long time ago, when I ventured into the online realm, I needed a moniker.
At the time, I was enthralled with my really fast car. I was a wannabe rebel, so my wife encouraged me to use an
alias that would reflect my new-found brashness. 120inna55 is supposed to represent a traffic violation---120 mph in
a 55 mph zone. "120 in a 55" is the speeding ticket I never got and probably never will. Honestly, the name never
really reflected my true self, but I suppose that's the beauty of having an online persona. In reality, I do, for the
most part, follow the rules.
What's this website about?
The first page---the one you're on right now---is my blog. Keep in mind while reading my blog,
most pictures are thumbnails that can be clicked for a larger version of the picture (you will not be redirected from this
site). For most blog entries, there is a link at the end that will take you to my online discussion forum. To restrict spammers, I do require that you register on the forum before being allowed to post your comments.
The rest of the site will inevitably change with time because it simply reflects my interests.
Where can I learn more about 120inna55 and his personal life?
Because the ego prevails, we all assume other people are actually interested in our personal lives.
The fact is, I'm not that interesting. But if you must know more, go to Hilton-House.net. There you can find a slightly more realistic view of my true self along with pictures of my home and pets.

To the soul-less jerk who dumped this dog...
10 months ago, apparently some jerk dumped a dog at our dead-end country road. Click here to see my original post about Gypsy.Gypsy has turned out to be a great dog. Her training has been a little difficult because she's so different
from any other dog we've had. She still has the destructive puppy-ness quality, but she's trying so hard to
be good. She is probably the most obedient of the pack, now. She comes to me when I call her, and
then she even heels---and I didn't even intentionally teach her that. On my morning walks, if I call her once, she
comes to me and sits, making direct eye contact. Then, as I continue walking, she walks very close to me and behind
me. If I don't have my hands in my pockets, my hand will occasionally inadvertantly brush her nose, due to her being
so close. She does this regardless of what the rest of the pack is doing. She understands the signal to carry
on (un-heel?) is for me to kneel down and pet on her while talking to her in a playful tone. While it still requires
a voice command, she even restrains herself from chasing the school bus or newspaper guy, overcoming the pack mentality despite
Bonnie and Mercy charging off barking their fool heads off. I've all but given up on breaking Bonnie and Mercy from
this annoying activity. Today, the warm sun knocked Gypsy down. I just wanted to post these pics to show
what a beautiful dog she's turned out to be. So, to the soul-less jerk who dumped her, have a look at what you gave
up... (click thumbnails for larger versions)      Click here to discuss this in the forum.
