After I recovered I laughed to myself (it was close) remembering the old Joke about if the tree fell and no one heard it did it make a noise. Well this one did. I'll raise my hand on that one. Does my vote count? I'm a witness for the prosecution. Autofocus wouldn't have gotten it. My tape recorder which I constantly used was turned off. I was shook. Many times I said into it "There are large mounds all over the place in this here Montana" after which there was no point in photographing them. Just rambling. I like this "Situations that beg for a UV protection filter" thread. It's kind of a metaphor or parable of the modern dilemma...and on and on. Mark Rabiner
