    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!"

    Thanks Chief. I guess some of that patience paid off. Next time we should bring beer and just hang out by the bridge or the parking lots like those other dudesne_nau.gif

    Wonderful shots, Jeff. I actually like the RTH best. He looks like he thinks the other Red thing is nuts, too.

    I wish! The going rate for 3rd years is not too favorable at this point--I still have to pay them!bncry.gif

    Thanks for the look and the kind words.
