I love this. When I was a freelance photographer in D.C., I had a Mazda 323 that I could snake through traffic like the business. People who weren't familiar with that kind of driving would get totally creeped out when they drove with me, as if I was going to physically wedge the car into a trap--I literally knew to the inch whether I could get through a space or not. I once got into a parking space where the aggregate space on either end of the car was less than six inches. It took me about a hundred cuts, but where there's a will there's a way. <g> And that's when I was a PHOTOGRAPHER in D.C., did I mention that? Doing, um, photography. --Mike - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
