>Hi Luggers,
>My Macbook is still in the Genius Bar hospital so I am having to
>improvise with my Safari editing.

>Apple promised a 1 - 3 day turn around and we are now on Day 11 -
>lack of spare parts - Steve would not be pleased.
>I have turned to my MacBook Air and started to (slowly) process on
>it with CS 4 from my backup disk.

>Here are three photos of Lolita the Cheetah. She started the day on
>a far hill on top of a jeep and our guide would not drive off track
>so we could get close enough to get the money picture - although
>everyone else did. We were, however, rewarded for following the
>rules when she walked over the hill, which we quickly drove around,
>and came to rest on a rock just a few yards from us:

>I took another 300 or so pictures before everyone became hungry
>enough to force me away for breakfast.

>One of my most satisfying safari encounters. C&C always welcome.
>Please look large.
