Snail-mail service must have added a special wagon train to Texas to
have made it in four days!  :-)

True on all counts!  That was Sue's new MX-10. If you thought those
trumpetfish pix were bad photog work, you should have seen her
seahorse pix.  Brown, Red, and Yellow sea-horseys, all grande, but
all out of focus.  <G>  But the DM gave us a tip on how to use the
wide-angle lense on close-ups.  Unfortunately, our wide-angle lense
is at home.

Hey, Giovanni, should that be a $1.000000 bank note?  That's the least
I could do for your professional service.  <BG>

Now that you mentioned it, I should have one of those "authenticated"
$1,000,000 US Bills for each Choo-Choo-mini-NEDfester to defray the
cost of gas (petro) for their driving to Choo-Choo, no ¿

Choo-Choo-mini-NEDfesters, put your order for Crusty's NEDfest shirt
NOW, if you haven't already.  We'll adopt that as the Choo-Choo
NEDfest shirt.  :-)

Look forward to seeing it when I return from my dives toady.
