thanks, sam! the LVc has a special place thanks in part to you. appreciate the video, too. i'm slowly winding down from the high of the baseball season, but, it's great to see some NY giants action, too. before going totally into baseball, joe morris and LT were my heros.

Great picture Cru! Quite the good comparison shot!

Now remember, it's not the size that counts...
