Dang you evil tempters! I just costed 15 rolls of Provia and processing 
following a trip using most of my on hand Provia. The new
Provia 400x costs locally AUD29 a roll at retail, plus the processing. I 
love the Fuji pro emulsions but that is just insane. Then
my Aussie Leica dealer just announced the Aussie distributor has one chrome 
and one black M8 on sale at a discount. That's two at
that deal for 23 million of us Aussies. Don't bother telling me to go for it 
with the M8, feel free to tell my partner however!

Cheers
Geoff

Here's my take on things:
During the past year I bade farewell to three very good friends, all of whom 
departed this vale quite suddenly.  

If you really want something and can figure out how to pay for it, buy it.
Life's a short ride.
