Thanks, Barley.  th9is fall into the category of "playing to the camera," as in attempting to make the scene as life-like as possible.  Does it work every time?  No, but ya gotta keep trying and eventually it might happen.

Thanks, Aya.  Ah, you're a pup just like the rest of us, just ask the wife, right?  I think my "long haul" days are over.  I'm fortunate in that my display space is limited, meaning I will be in the "reduction" phase of dio builds from there on out.  I will certainly attempt to fulfill your request, my friend!

Thank you, Blake, mucho apreciado!

I'm not sure why, but there seems to be an issue loading photo links that work correctly, even after reposting numerous times.  This is not the first time I've had issues, the problem being consistent.  My pics are held at Fotki, which works everywhere else.  Oh well, some of the intense pics are not visible here, can't be helped.
