Thanks to those who commented on my

Responding:

--I don't yet know how it will print, but I am worried because I often 
have problems with blown highlights on these multi-colored (including 
black and white) dogs.

--There are 6 dogs.  You can easily tell by counting the noses.

--True, they are not really guarding anything.  They are watching for 
squirrels.

--The highlights are a bit blown.  (See #1, above.)

As to F1, which I have been following off and on since the early 
sixties, I'd just like to say I'm proud to be in a discussion group with 
Frank Dernie and appreciate his comments greatly.  My own take is there 
was too much posturing going on and everyone wound up marching off the 
cliff in lock-step.  Perhaps a neutral mediator could have helped, but 
even that may have been impossible.  Even if all championship points 
were 'ceded' to Ferrari, what would have happened if during the 'race' 
say a McLaren or Williams had punted M. Schumacher off the track?  Or 
vice versa? (Just speculating, of course.  Things like that never really 
happen in F1.)

As to Nathan's Father's Day presents: I have always greatly admired you 
too.  When may I come over?
