Kyle,
Moon8 is great.  Coral1's face needs more glow to compete better with the 
door in the back.  Moon1 is boring as is coral2.  Moon 2 is an interesting 
shot, did you rig a Cat Cam?

Subject: [Leica] Billingham bags banned from u.s. domestic flights

Washington -- March 14, 2005
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced today that camera bags
made by the Billingham Photographg Luggage company (Nasdaq: LENS) would be
barred from all flights whose origion or termination was within the borders
of the United States. The bags are popular with oweners of Leica Cameras
(OTC: LEICF.PK) which have recently been barred from U.S. flights. "It has
come to our attention," said Homeland Security spokesperson Thad Whitel,
"that Leica cameras are manufactured in Germany -- a country which is not
and never has been our ally. If they choose to side with the terrorists, I
see no option but to remove their products from our flights to protect the
safety of Americans in the air." As evidence of the dangers of Leica
cameras, Whitel produced several examples of scandelous photographs recently
taken by American photographer Kyle Cassidy. "You won't need any further
examples than these," Whitel said, producing enlargements of the photos. The
photos were all taken within the past 30 days:
