I currently reside in a house built in 1896, which I regard as "late construction" and my office building was built in 1909, and I view this as "post-modern", so a vehicle from 1985 is outside my ken. My wife was unhappy with my suggestion that I could use the Guest Bathroom as a temporary darkroom on the logical grounds that we have few guests, our Jem Kime have been our latest, and that some two years back. (As I have told Jeffery, when the NEXT hurrricane hits, he will always have a place at Schloss Klein, though it might well be that he has to lever a Leica V-35 out of the way when biology intrudes in the still of the night. For that matter, as I do most of my processing after midnight, he might have to lever me aside, as well, but, so long as the chemical demands are met, I am a rather easy dude to deal with in a darkroom-of-dual-purpose.) I'll see you around Labor Day, Jeffrey. The room will be set up and ready for you. <he grins -- but the room will be there should, horrors!, you need it. And if some other List Members are equally stranded, well, I have a lot of sleeping bags and air matresses and the like. We will be in Chester, Virginia, just south of Richmond, Virginia -- and to you Leica die-hards, the home of Zeiss Sports Optics North America, but we shan't work much on that.> Any future hurricane victims can apply. We will have ample space, if you can sleep around an odd enlarger or the like. Everyone has a bed for a day or two at Schloss Klein. Within limits, and so long as you guys can share an evening over a pot of tea talking Leica and Leica photography. Marc msmall@aya.yale.edu Cha robh b?s fir gun ghr?s fir!
