When we do not do the one thing we ought to do, we have no time for anything else- we are the busiest people in the world.                        Eric Hoffer  Thanks to all for your vote, I have been awarded 3rd place in the Canon Photography in the Parks Contest. Now it time to get busy again...      Mike
