51)  It's often foggy in the City by the Bay.  You know, the kind of fog that creeps around everything, and makes it all seem soft and mushy, like an
overripe melon.  But not since *she* walked into my life.  She's a classy dame, this one.  High maintenance, expensive tastes, but worth it.  With a
set of curves that could drive any guy wild.  But it's that gaze of hers that really makes her something special.  She's seen it all.  Nothing escapes
her.  She can look into the darkest corner of this sorry world, and tell you all about it in exquisite detail, no flinching.  And she's tough.  You
can shine a light right in her face and grill her, and she won't break down.   She takes life like some people take their scotch and their smokes:
straight, no filter.  And through it all, she always looks great.  Some call her cold and unforgiving, but they don't know her like I do.  Nights with
her are beautiful and easy.  Stroke her, turn her around, and she purrs like a kitten, smooth as silk.  Always ready to give, though she knows there
are a thousand more who want her as bad as I do.  But they
can't have her, because with this dish, once she's yours, she's yours for life.Summilux 35 Aspheric...The Naked Lens.  -Peter Klein

McElroy
