Lucian,

I laughed very hard at your post. Funny how a little type can really change
the intended meaning. I appreciate your comments. 

On topic with photographer, I took a hot cinder just below my right eye due
to a fireworks mishap on the 4th of July. It left a nasty blister. It's
healing now, but 10mm higher could have doomed sight in that eye. Sometimes
you just get lucky. It wasn't even me who lit the fireworks. I was taking
pictures, though not at that moment. Next year I may fashion a pair of
safety glasses out of those old UV filters I never use. 

Dave

Being able to navigate the stars is one of my aims too.  Alas, I remain
earthbound, for now.

(IMO your sister sounds like an inspiration - I sometimes fear losing a
faculty critical to taking photographs - principally my eyesight but also my
physical capability...)

Keep taking photos (and navigating stars),
Lucian G.

ps. In case anyone thinks I'm taking the piss, actually I think slips of the
tongue/keyboard such as the stairs/stars one above tell us a lot.  I thought
this particular one was poignant and apt.  I liked it a lot.  Sorry, getting
way OT now...
