Eric said in praising Sonny and his early morning picture:

> And yet another very nice one.  Guess it pays to always take your camera, 
> eh?  :)  > <<<<

Well Eric as often as I've always had a camera hanging some where off my 
body and nothing happened, only the odd crash and burn, but usually a nice 
one on occasion. ;-)

But it's much better and peace of mind to have one. Once you make your mind 
up you'll not go anywhere without one it becomes as easy as getting dressed 
and going out. I mean, after all, you wouldn't think of going out naked 
would you? :-)

But when you don't take it, as sure as the Great Spirit made little green 
apples, it's as sure as hell something will happen and you'll be sorry for a 
very long time thinking about how stupid you were not to have it.

ERGO: Wife going on about hurrying to the damn shopping mall.:-( I lock the 
door, realize I don't have camera and about to go into house to get it.. 
"Naw never mind, we're only going to the mall, nothing happens there."

I didn't and while in the shopping mall grocery store an earthquake happens 
! :-) Absolutely honest truth and I'm standing there as pissed mad as I can 
be because..... "I don't have a camera!"

Now the good thing was it was a solid roller, but not bad enough for any 
major damage, so that let me off the hook. But over the years there have 
been times when it paid off, usually car crashes or plane crashes.

Or it's the other way around, something major happens and no camera!:-(

So the long and short of it is..... "always have a camera with you." Whether 
you get anything or not doesn't matter becuase if yer a good Boy Scout you 
are always ... "Be Prepared!" Trust me it doesn't matter a sheep's ear which 
kind of camera, but have one as you can never go wrong!
