Oh sure, Gary, I'm here. If I can't add to the subject material, I stay
off. Unless, of course, it gets off topic politically, in which case
I'll jump in. Other off topic stuff, I try desperately to avoid. Like
the sex of my Leicas? The sex of my Leicas is not a factor with me, nor
will I anthropomorphize on their behalf. Any object (including Leicas)
that lets me down, for other than "cockpit problems" which are mine,
gets shouted at, cursed and banished into limbo for whatever period I
choose. Mind you, I don't kick them (they're always in top shape when I
get rid of them), but they, and others around, do hear my feelings.

For crying out loud, don't let a return to normal health silence you!
Be sure to report on the fun and frolic and, even the Leica associated
stuff that goes on at Charlotte. Regrettably, I'll not be there, except
in spirit.

EQUALITY:
Prosperity or egalitarianism--you have to choose.
I favor freedom--you never achieve real equality anyway;
you simply sacrifice prosperity for an illusion.
