Ron. I just had a thought!! How about a goatskin camera bag?
I think it would be really cool to put my new Canon 20D and
digi-lens in when it comes!! Sort of a fashion statement y'know.
Freeze the meat and send me a couple o' chops 'n' a leg over night
courier! U.S. Food and drug Admin: might not like that idea tho'.
