i can see buying one for my gf too

I was going to show her the Fuji and noticed Kai reviewed it. I told her the price and that it brings a 35mm f2.0 lens and she is sold I think it's an awesome camera. She wants to see more reviews on it.

how big is that town Roger?

I live in Dragoon, Arizona. Arizona classifies groupings of people as cities (largest), municipalities, towns, villages, and communities. Dragoon is a community.

I'm not sure of the current population, but the 2000 census lists our zip code (85609) as covering about 200 square miles and having a population of 297. There is no mail delivery in the 85609 zip code.

The thriving metropolis of Dragoon has a post office, a Baptist church, a couple of what-not (junque) shops, an artists' studio, a dude ranch, a "bad girls" ranch, the Amerind Foundation (where we live and my wife works), and not much else. There is no gas station, no grocery or convenience store, no hotel/motel, no RV park, or anything else. The majority of the population live "downtown," a cluster of houses in a very small tract subdivision near the railroad crossing (the center of town).

The Amerind Foundation, where we work and live, is two and one-half miles from the center of town. This is a Native American archeological site, museum, art gallery, and research center active year round. Go to http://amerind.org to get the skinny on the place.

Funny - I have several Robertson drivers . . .
Here - my Nokia has one. Or would you prefer the one on my Windows Mobile?

Well, off the top of my head, nobody's yet invented an "Anti-gravity Suit". And Alexander Graham Bell was a Scot working in Boston when he invented the telephone, who later moved to Cape Breton Island. The initial patent was in the US as well.

Time to blow his cover. He is one of those rocks.

It's so odd knowing that Nokia is dropping symbian for windows phone 7.

@ blowing his cover.

Roger you must get some beautiful shots of the sun setting or rising (not sure on your location)

Wrong. Sorry to burst your bubble. The suit that pilots wear is the "G-suit" not the "Anti-gravity suit", regardless of who invented it. It doesn't eliminate gravity. It reduces upper-torso blood loss due to gravity.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the inventor called it an anti-gravity suit, which was his right since he invented it. The name just didn't catch on.

Names often don't catch on.The man who invented the typewriter called it a dactylograph (finger-writer). Rolls right off the tongue, doesn't it.

Absolutely nothing for you, of course. Can't even go sledding!

But then, this IS southern Arizona!

We do, both directions. Texas canyon runs east-west, and we are right at the saddle (just over 4800 feet).

Sounds like my kind of place! Just too far south. I would prefer the side of a mountain. I like trees and not so much sun or sand.

Sounds very relaxing there. Do you have any shots of either one?
