Best of luck Brian. And don't just lurk; continue to contribute! As for your photographic endeavors: I'm always edified when I learn that no map librarian lives simply for the job; that there is 2 or 3 people's worth of interesting things going on in each of your lives. -jon __________________________________________ Jon R.
