    Howdy Sam,

    Thanks for looking!

    You should be so lucky, pard. A divine hand must have guided me to the forum today....just in time to catch you with this major indiscretion. I don't blame you for trying to be sneaky about the whole thing. But this is prima facie evidence that you are a closet " flower shooter ". It's bad enough that we don't get treated to your talents very often these days....but THIS speaks volumes about your hidden proclivities.

    BTW, this is really good work on your part.thumb.gif

    Take care, buddy,

    Howdy Pard,

    You know, in the Old West, pard's had each others back.

    Let's just say that during a hunting trip in the woods, your pard's pistol accidentally fires when a limb catches and cocks his gun, then another limb accidentally catches on the trigger and fires the gun, hitting some random flower.

    Would you ride into town and tell everyone that he "shot" a flower?

    No, I think not...


    It is of unworldly coincident that this very situation might have...could have...Ummm...may have... happened in my case. As I was dizzy with the altitude, it's hard to remember exactly, but I seem to remember that a limb brushed up against my camera and turned the switch on. Then, a little later, as I was crawling through the woods looking for water, another limb accidentally hit the shutter button.

    I of course, had NO control over where the camera was pointed at this unfortunate time in my life!

    So, when you rode into town, what did you tell everyone??? ne_nau.gif

    I've got to give you credit, pard. That's about the most blatant diversionary jabber I've ever heard. Unfortunately for you, it's not going help a bit in shifting focus away from your sins. After talking this whole thing over with some of the posse members, our inquiring minds have only one remaining question.....what's coming next? Will it be roses or tulips?

    Talk to you soon,

    Tom
