Lea--

Didn't I tell you? I'm making one right here in my office! It's almost
finished! All I need is a couple of rolls of duct tape, plastic sheeting, an
eggplant, and some busted-down mechanical parts from a few deceased
Mini-Coopers and we'll be ready!

I'll keep you posted. As soon as they are ready, you'll be the first to
know!

With best viewfinder wishes--

Kit
