My scummy little 8x32 SE will be performing well for me until I take my dirt nap. Thus, I don't really need to get involved in the peeing contest the appears on these pages, daily. Also, having reason enough to be "snarky" 90% of the time, I have to watch myself, as some folks take optical realities to be raining on their parade. And, although I often rain on misleading parades, I never intend to hurt or offend the organizers. Don't be a stranger. :cat:"The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is."---Winston ChurchillBillPS Debbie was raised in Atlanta (read: metropolitan swamp) and, for the last 35 years, has been all snuggy in Western Washington, nestled down between the Olympics and Cascades. Thus, getting her used to -5 degree weather with snow spotting the house to the 8-foot level, is really fun to watch.</blockquote>
