Thanks Bob. The count today was one swan and 10-15 turkeys passing through. The laws of probability say that if you stick one white swan and 15 brown turkeys in a bag, and then reach in and pull one out, your hand is going to be seriously mangled. But also the likelihood that you grab a turkey is far greater than the likelihood of grabbing a swan. And thus is history written. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
