Well, good.  You realize how much you scare me each time you bring up all these
possibilities, don't you?  I am somewhat of a hypochondriac at times, but unlike
most people so afflicted, my condition extends to my cameras, such that I tend
to worry a great deal about their health, even when they don't even have so much
as a dust speck to mar their pretty complexions.
