RE: OT - Francophiles
Actually Frank I may have misled you. We do not put mayo on fries, we actually dip the fries in the mayo. The mayo is served in a small container on the side, so we can double dip the container is not shared. You are right about it being newish, it happened in the early 90's. Started with a chain of restaurants specialised in fries, i.e. different dips with the fries. It then caught on mainstream. The specialty frie restos, the chain that started it all, may have gone out of business. I haven't seen them around or they may have downsized. And you are right about the hot dogs and mayo, tried it once, did nothing for me. I actually prefer New York dogs with lots of mustard.

RE: Vacation musings-
I would love to see your pics of Quebec City. I travel to Quebec City (I live in Montreal about 3 hour drive) at least once a month to visit family and it is one of the most, if not the most, beautiful cities of North America. I agree with your opinion on French women..I married one. As for Sangria, it is amazing on a hot day. Regards Nicolas -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: August 22, 2004 12:06 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Vacation musings- Oooops let's try it again Just got back from a week in Quebec City. Shot almost all architecture stuff and holiday snaps using a PZ1, MZS and LX. PZ1 was loaded with film, MZS with slide and LX with SCALA B&W slide film. Lenses included 16, 20,24, 30, 50 85, 120, 28-70,F2.8 (Tokina),28-105 FA Pentax, 70-200Fa Pentax, 100-300,300 f4. Here are a few Travel notes: When on vacation travel light rather than take lenses you think you might use. A pitcher of Sangria goes down great on a hot day. Shooting B&W and Colour at the same time is difficult. Zooms are much more useable than primes. Climbing up steep hills and steps carrying three cameras and a half dozen lenses is no way to spend a vacation. Sangria does not taste the same at every restaurant. But all are very good. The Pentax 28-105 FA lens is all I really need for 3/4s of my shooting. French women really have a style, a look and sex appeal all their own... Tokina's 28-70 is a close second to the 28-105 as far as an excellent travel lens goes. It's just a little heavy... Autofocus is nice for middle-age guys even for stationary subjects. The MZS and PZ1 are excellent cameras but they offer too many choices. The simplicity of the LX still works for me. Beautiful French women should not be allowed to speak French in front of balding middle-aged men who can only dream When you change the MZS or PZ1 to spot metering, don't forget to change it back to evaluative. I must try different Sangria recipes. A light monopod is easier to carry than a tripod and can be used for a crutch after walking up steep inclines carrying too much gear. Looking like a professional photographer is not the same as being one. (Repeat of first muse - (When on vacation travel light rather than take lenses you think you might use.) Develop trust in your cleaning ladies that they are not interested in stealing your lenses. Which leads directly into: leaving 3/4 of your lenese in the hotel room is smarter than carrying them around town with you. Which leads to: Leaving 3/4 of your lenses at home is better than worrying about them back at the hotel room. It's unfair that beautiful French women are allowed to wear very tight-fitting clothes when they are addressing middle-aged men who are, in fact, balding, and sweating profusely from carrying too much camera gear. It is better for your photography and your frame of mind to look and feel cool with one camera and one or two lenses, than to look like a photo geek with three cameras and too many lenses around your neck. Just a few travel notes from the middle-age photo geek who never learns. P.S. I am happily married and not planning to return to Quebec because I want to keep it that way... LOL Pictures to follow..

MZ-s and BG10 grip (Pardon my ignorance)
Hi, I am receiving my MZ-s and BG10 grip on Tuesday; I have a question concerning the grip. The price of the CR2 batteries is pretty steep, do I need them if I have the grip installed (which takes AA batteries)? Looking at pictures of the grip it seems like one has to insert it in the battery compartment, so I would assume we have to remove them, but I wouldn't mind a confirmation from someone who knows or has a grip. Also would like to mention that the retailer told me that Pentax has a promotion on now. If you buy an MZ-s with grip, they give you a free remote control which is supposed to work with the grip.

Re: All ok? READ THIS WARNING TOTAL OFF TOPIC SO DON'T FLAME ME
Having heard many put down the US and hating their policies I think we should all read this article from a Canadian newspaper, it is worth sharing. America: The Good Neighbor. Widespread but only partial news coverage was given recently to a remarkable editorial broadcast from Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian television commentator. What follows is the full text of his trenchant remarks as printed in the Congressional Record: "This Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least appreciated people on all the earth. Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of these countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States. When France was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up, and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it. When earthquakes hit distant cities, it is the United States that hurries in to help. This spring, 59 American communities were flattened by tornadoes. Nobody helped. The Marshall Plan and the Truman Policy pumped billions of dollars into discouraged countries. Now newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent, war mongering Americans. I'd like to see just one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplane. Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tri-Star, or the Douglas DC10? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all the International lines except Russia fly American Planes? Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or woman on the moon? You talk about Japanese technocracy, and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy, and you get automobiles. You talk about American technocracy, and you find men on the moon-not once, but several times-and safely home again. You talk about scandals, and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everybody to look at. Even their draft-dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are here on our streets, and most of them, unless they are breaking Canadian laws, are getting American dollars from ma and pa at home to spend here. When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both are still broke. I can name you 5000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble. Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake. Our neighbors have faced it alone, and I'm one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them get kicked around. They will come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their nose at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles. I hope Canada is not one of those."

Not saying OT posts are not good. Just that after a long day at work going through 150 messages is kind of much.
