There don't seem to be any around anymore. I am going to quit testing, though, and go out and take photos of my chickens and geese and guineas and ducks and cats and dog. We do have a shortage of people around the farm but Tom is painting the front bedroom. Maybe somebody will pay me another $1.74 for 5 years use of a photo of Tom painting! Hope you are well!
