Stocks are higher today than in 11 months - good forebodings for 999999999
day.

I've been pushing  'Steel Gray' for years on the lug and to old ladies on
the bus.
I tired to convince Bill to make the last LHSA special body be along those
lines. But no. nobody listens to poor Rabs.
"Its too simple" they said.
Hammertone is a bit much and can get complicated.
Steel gray says lean mean clean machine; though in Leica terms traditionally
in times of war. Which we're always in so that would  make little difference
when we embrace the big picture.
And you don't need a hammer.

Soon many of the very same pros who were using M6's in the 90's instead of
Nikons and Canon SLR's will be using M9's instead of Nikon and Canon DSLR's.
Long Live Dr. Andreas Kaufmann, savior of Leica; a company which  talked of
in the past tense by every single person on this list a few years ago. The
day before yesterday in my mind.
