Re: [MBZ] OBTW
Would it be too much trouble to post a photo for those of us without imagination? Come on! Live in my world for a while. Who needs pictures anyway? Seriously, things would be a whole lot better if I could see pictures and not have to rely on words alone.

FWIW I like to live life vicariously a la RIch, down in the bayou (or Palmetto equivalent).
