>>Looks like it has a sibling in it's stomach..........
nicely done, John. it's hard sometimes to see the obvious. you did good. I suspect a number of us were puzzled at least for a while over that pic.
it's also a testament to the power of first impressions: i got the impression from the post that it had been that way since it hatched. OR at least that its siblings were accounted for, so nothing to point me in the right direction. I was carjacked once (how's THAT for a topic switch? But i'll bring it back to point) and the officer who ended up pursuing us and eventually saving me from gunpoint couldn't shake the first impression that he was chasing a drug deal in progress. Even after the baddies were taken away and there were half a dozen cruisers, a couple dogs and a helicopter! at the scene, and even though the thugs had done the same thing the previous three nights, he kept returning to me to ask, "are you sure that's what happened?" Not to be preachy but it's proof of the importance of making a good impression, as well as a reminder not to form them too quickly. Wait: let me shine my shoes and straighten my tie before i post this...
