HEY CREW!
What I find most frustrating is we're down by at least 20 submissions at 
this time compared to other years.
Sorry if some who've submitted are included next. :-(

Every day there's close to a hundred or more word and some picture posts on 
screen.

Many just babblefest drivel that could and should be replaced with "TWO 
PHOTOGRAPHS" SENT TO JIM! Surely to "E two photographs" doesn't take any 
longer than a ..."Wow nice photo joe!"  from some of you who may or may not 
have sent your photos.

For newcomers who may be a tad intimidated about sending photos...
"DON'T BE!" Never mind what you've seen on the list! WHY?  Well this is 
about as "FREE an OPPORTUNITY" for you to have a couple of "YOUR PHOTOS 
PUBLISHED IN A BOOK!" This also applies to the many "old timers" who've yet 
to move yer ass and send two! You folks are supposed to be the "SHINING BEST 
EXAMPLES" to the new folks on sending two!

Let's be fair here, we have a lad who put's the book together "FOR FREE!" 
and has done so each year right up to the last few seconds of the old year 
... obviously this 2010! That means he is working his butt off right up to 
what should be a welcoming for the "NEW YEAR'S EVE PARTY!"  I rag on you 
folks for the fun of it, to some degree. But in reality I'm making every 
effort to help word-wise by cajoling, so we of the LUG can once again have a 
fine book like no others. It's ours, the LUG CREW 2010!

As I've said more times than once..... it only takes a few minutes and your 
pictures are on the way and in the book layout on arrival! However that 
doesn't mean they all arrive at 5 minutes before midnight Dec. 31! Cut short 
your lunch break and send, or cut short the supper hour and send, these 
opportunities are endless throughout the day.

How about this? Get two pictures on desk top, if you don't have time right 
then to post, at least they're ready to go. Later when you check mail, send 
then! That's BEFORE you get to reading and looking at the incoming mail... 
send that evening or the next morning.

You may think  "Well there's 15 days to go, so what's the hurry?" The "HURRY 
IS" just do it NOW and get it over with that's the hurry.

Besides there's a whole bunch of "YOU FOLKS" and only one Jim Shulman 
putting it together!  Need I say more?

Thank you, I knew you'd all understand! OK now "SEND THEM RIGHT THIS VERY 
SECOND!" as I'm done for now. :-)
cheers,
Dr. ted
