It scared the hell out of me without killing me, but unfortunately did serious damage to a Leica and Hasselblad. So I know Peggy's Cove well. ;-) Almost fatally well! :-( ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
