Otis,
I was referring to Gerald's little vent. Not the job situation.
Believe me, working on a project that =any day= could join the ranks
of the unfunded, I'm quite aware of the dangers of the working world.
Fortunately, I'm taking steps to prevent too great a fall should the
project cease.
These steps would include regular use of my Pentax photographic equipment.
