Pentacle5 is a very nice dAer who just faved a few of my pics.

Well, new for me anyway. It was a SONY CYBERSHOT that belonged to my Bear but he'd replaced a few years ago. It still works pretty good and I can still get in the practice I need to improve. I'm glad I have a thoughtful hubby who also a bit of a packrat :).

Just for the record, I don't care for Red Bull, can't stand the taste. But I have a few major left wing aquaintances who every now and then just need a little jolt of reality. Taking yourself too seriously is not the way to make friends and influence people.
