Hmm, the opiates must have been working at full strength. Rumour
has it that all the nurses thought you were just an absolute
dear; like a big, soft, cuddly-wuddly, widdle bear, and that
they totally miss your gentle, pleasant, gentlemanly demeanour.

Me neither, but some of those other lists have the humour
of a houseplant, the photographic interest of a circuit
drawing, and make you feel about as welcome as a blowfly
at a BBQ (yes, a gratuitous Aussie cliche - so sue me...
again).

I'm looking at an Olympus 770SW (in Royal Blue to match my eyes
and it'll slip into my Crumpler man-bag quite nicely ;-) ).
Actually, it is its sandprooficity and waterproofaliciousness
that are the thing - family photos (bodysurfing, seahorseplay,
etc.) and beach photos and detail, coupled with being able to
keep it in a velcro'd back pocket of my boardies, and washing
it off under the carpark shower afterwards.
Naturally, I'm curious as to whether your writings on the proofs
of the 725 Tough are base on personal experience.

You better give me Wittgenstein's Tarantulas, 'cause I'm
petrified of spiders.
