Easy, Larry, we were just picking on an old man. We would do that, well, because we can.

I think my wife's little Canon camera has some crud inside the lens. This is about the best I can get out of it for a view of the flats:





The only thing I've got left to add is that it isn't uncommon to find pitted bores on old French guns, and this one, old as it is, has perfect, beautiful bores.

More's the pity.

Best,
Ted
