Re: [Leica] 10th Week's PAW (No. 3 for me)

I'm a transplanted Californian. There were many wonderful OLD things in
California, but unlike most places, when someone wants to build something
else, they FLATTEN THEM post haste. In New Orleans, we prefer to preserve
them until the next hurricane blows them down.

I'm hoping to do much the same as you are doing. It's a great and worthwhile
project.
