Well there we go then...One rainy day shooter out the door and the rest 
putting on cotton gloves. This, in anticipation of handling their new 
"babies". When we were young (way back) we liked women. I can't remember 
anyone under 40 fondling a camera when they could be fondling women.  
Now, we are no longer in our prime. The aesthetics of  lust have given 
way to the quest for mechanical perfection.

There are few solutions. One might buy Leicas and keep the doors at 
Oscar's old haunt open. The urge to feel wind in our faces could be 
satisfied with a new Mustang convertible. ( Or Vespa, right B.D.) And, 
my personal choice, an ample supply of Viagra. :-*
