Naw RMC- you can't be all that bad-nice Parker, two fine Labs in tow. I have always been "highly observant" even before I did my Ph.D. in the faraway and magical lands of "snoopin' and poopin'" not to be confused with "winkin', blinkin' and nod" cause if you snooze, you either: don't win, lose, or at best, end up VSF. I sent you a snail mail to your "Big-P" digs- loved Hemingway and all his haunts, even though the Park Hotel (garish yellow) Josie Russell's in Key West, etc. have all become "turistidated" to the nines. Shoot, let's be friends, even though we'll never meet.

My powers of observation once had me stop at an area NAPA store(for spark plugs for my John Deeres) and they had one of those portable outdoor sign boards advertising "Parts Manuels" so, being somewhat half-assed in "La Lengua segunda del Escritador Muy Famosa Don Ernesto H." I had to ask Jack since when did NAPA print their parts manuAls- in Spanish? He called me back about a week later and said- "Hey drive by the store, I changed the sign just for you" So I did- it now read: "Be A lert- the whole world needs more Lerts". So, if you will kindly forgive my lack of knowledge of the nuances of photography-the reddish/safety orange glow on your coat made me wonder- ditto the shiny band on your duck call, but I was "narrow minded"-as I love to shoot ducks, I could have asked you to hunt on one of my area private farms in that, what I saw as 'standing out like a pregnant ballet dancer" outfit, placing you on the side where the sun might shine, and being greedy, thus having the incoming ducks "flare"- possibly by my side-but I won't do that of course.

Anything about SMAW, MIG and TIG welding processes on mild, structural,tool and die (air, water and oil hardening)stainless (300 and 400 series) you want to know, I'm your guy. Now, maybe you would kindly consider doing two things for moi, please: (1) 'Splain to me why we get "red eyes" in the indoor fotos with those 35mm 27 shot FUJI "cheapo" cameras, but not with the more expensive ones, such as my current Lady uses (with Agfa Film, Ja)and if your fine outdoor photos grace the calendars sold by Barnes and Noble (where my adopted daughter is a mgr. and can get me a nice discount-and I like discounts, except for the "cheaper seats" I like to be on the 50 yard line-how about you?
