Thank you Ken, yes, that was what I basically had in mind. (Contact sheet.)

If you have trays and chemicals and turn the lights off in the bathroom,
ain't that a darkroom? In any case, I don't have that and won't have time to
learn how to have it anytime this year so -- off we go to CVS.

Or Dwayne's. That was the name of the lab in Kansas I was trying to
remember.
Has anyone used them? Any *savoir puissance trieze *to offer at this
time???? Or as they say up in the neighborhoods in New York, any sagacite'
a' quatorzieme? ("Sagcor" for short. Not to be confused with 'corsage" which
you also see a lot starting this time of year.)
