Ted:

I think I need to try a little fill flash to fill in the shadows.  I wonder 
if this would attract any more attention?  The fill flash might just make 
the combo too heavy for me.  I put the camera, lens, and 2x extender on the 
scale last night and it weighed exactly 16 pounds (7.27kg).  No wonder my 
back is sore!

I might take a drive to this town again next week. There are about four 
hundred more residents of this town that don't look much different than 
this guy.  After the winter some of the residents, that just spend the 
winter there, go home.

Regards,

Robert
