I figured if he saw the Leica come up he'd change his mind as I'd have real-time images of him shooting at me and the cops could get him quick. ;-) The earthquakes I can cope with as we have them rattling through here once in awhile. As for the rest, I suppose they'd be the gang war and movie execs running around in those top down convertibles driving like they were in the Indy 500 race all the time. But like I said, it's an interesting place to visit but not a hope in hell I'd want to live there as I like my quiet time country and seaside. ;-) ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant
