[Leica] Another chosen by Nat Geo.

Yes Jim, the comments were amusing. Some people certainly live far from 
the land, and think McDonalds uses Hogwarts to magic up their food. It 
was interesting to see one of the commenters had the surname Bullock 
which is the term used over here for castrated bulls bred for meat. 
Think they're known as steers in North America. So it was not too hard 
to guess on which side of the meat eating fence she was on :-)

Speaking of bullocks, 50 years ago, my family had a 20 acre beach side 
holiday home in Co. Cork and, to help the place "wash its face", a small 
subsidiary business renting out caravans to temporary refugees from the 
big smoke. To keep the grass down, my dad decided to keep bullocks and 
bought 20 at a local mart. Sadly, the idea was scotched after a couple 
of years, as the things were quite big, intimidated the tourists, 
produced prodigious amounts of dung, and broke though fences to deposit 
steaming piles of ordure on the pristine golden sands of the beach. 
After a hurried rethink, he sold the bullocks, and converted to sheep.
