That sums it up exceptionally well, Sean.
I was kinda drawn to the woman in this video, taken last weekend:

Ended up taking her home with me, in fact! ;)

I was unable to view the file due to not having the right codec
(in spite of having installed klcodec480f.exe)
Oh well maybe it's just as well, as I have been totally smitten
by Gladys, Wonder Woman of the Arctic and Radiance of the Norther Aurora
(however could you have guessed?) and that's only from having seen her
pictures on your website.

Heh, heh. Thanks. And I'll tell her that! [1]
By the way, that video was taken with the new, little camera I
recently bought (called a "Panasonic Lumix ZS-3", I think). It's
working out great as a space-saving, multi-use unit to take along on
bike trips.
I've overcome the fear of dropping the dern (expensive!) thing while
riding and have begun taking videos while riding. Good ergonomics for
one-handed (left) operation and the wind-canceling mode and image
stabilization really help.
Maybe I'll put up a short video taken while riding, so others (who
might be thinking of switching cameras) can see.
[1] At 58, a women can appreciate that, once in awhile. ;)

So then, maybe she *used* to be a example of "the beauty of the White
Aryan Woman", Martin? ;)
