Thanks, Ken. I can afford the time—to learn the habits of the animals that interest me and to wait for them to appear. Alas, I’m afraid I’ll never get to Alaska or Africa or similar places. There’s a chance a chance, though, that I’ll be spending a week this spring in Florida’s “Forgotten Coast,” between Apalachicola and Panama City. Not so exotic, but definite possibilities. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] "Imagining the other is a powerful antidote to fanaticism and hatred." - Amos Oz -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
