hmm.. now if it was the PUG, it wasn't just something I threw in there... but I do remember comments to that effect. I didn't remember it was you tho Bill. That one looked like a "think piece" as it was taken inside - and it was staged - not a grab shot. Though it was true I couldn't have moved much, I did make conscious decisions even though rushed. speaking of rushed... NIght is about to fall. I better start looking at my files for June PUG! a
