That's better than three years ago, when I was in Florida, and I borrowed my in-law's yellow Buick to go to the to the mall I came out to find seven identical yellow Buick four-door sedans with AARP stickers, AAA ovals on the side window, and "Re-elect Ronald Reagan Stickers" on the bumper. I finally found the right one because I remembered they had used a remnant from the living room carpet to cover the dash board so it wouldn't crack in the sun. > Subject: Re: [Leica] The M9 Has Supernatural Powers > > > >> >> > From: Neil.Beddoe at raidllp.com >> > To: lug at leica-users.org >> > Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2009 09:17:17 +0100 >> > Subject: [Leica] The M9 Has Supernatural Powers >> > >> > I took mine on a cycle ride with my children yesterday and had it in a >> small camera bag in a pannier on the back of my bike.
