Likewise to you and yours, Mr Dashwood... and others who profess to
various religions and calendars.

And I will piggy-back off this and also wish each of you a Merry
Christmas, Happy New Year, and any other appropriate greetings for
holidays which you may celebrate.

(Our family has recorded an e-greeting for Christmas, and I think our
two-year-old steals the show.  If you'd like, you can view it at

LOL!
Thanks Steve :-)

It brought back many happy memories of the old Hamlet ads they used to run
on British TV, where there would be a disaster and then a dissolve to a guy
smoking a Hamlet cigar, accompanied by Bach's "Air on a G string"...

I must say, it looked like a very up-market car park...:-) (They are all
right-hand drive, so I guess it's the U.K., although it could be
Australia... Not NZ, such cars would be rare here and the chances of two in
a row are pretty unlikely...) I currently have the hood down on my
convertible and I had some sympathy forthe Ferrari guy :-)

I remember going to Malibu one Sunday with some friends. I photographed a
crossing where the cars were waiting for an elderly man to hobble across the
road. The order of cars was: Ferrari, Ferrari, Land Rover, Maserati, Ferarri
:-). Talk about the affluent society... :-)

Pete.

When I worked in Beverly Hills, we bet outsiders that we could stand on the 
sidewalk and
see a Rolls Royce drive by within five minutes. We always won.

Some stores on Rodeo Drive keep their front doors locked. To get in, an empl
oyee looks you
over and decides whether you're affluent enough. Hint: it's the shoes. If th
ey cost less
then $600, you're not worthy.

Hope you had a merry Christmas. Santa died for your credit cards, and watch 
out for flying
monkeys.

I once saw 6 Rolls Royces stopped at one traffic light on Rodeo Drive.
Several years ago I noticed that the Budget Car Rental in Beverly Hills
had a Rolls Royce. Budget, right.
