    Nice BEn, nice.

    The man above, or santa claus, is being good to you right now!

    Next you will have an owl in your chimney, or where ever.

    I can see him sizing up the possibilites. Henry, a light basting with BBQ sauce; Maggie would be fine as is. Now if those humans would just go inside for a bit.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
