[Leica] Lost Faith in Leica

[leicagalpal at earthlink.net (Kit McChesney)]

David--

I see your point. Being landlocked, days and perhaps weeks from the coast by
rail, or worse, by horse and buggy, and having no significant airports or
any reliable refrigeration systems, mountain-bound folks here in Colorado
are unable to get much of anything fresh. That's why we only eat Star-Kist
tuna and Spam. 

I wonder how all these five-star restaurants and sushi bars around here
manage? ;-)

Kit, when I lived in Denver I had a "no seafood" rule. You just can't
get fresh that far inland. This is probably due to growing up on the
coast of NC but I thought it a good rule anyway ;)
