The people who don't like them want you to know it every time. They say "I don't know why I just don't like cats". The people who do love cats also want you to know it. But they can be more specific. As in "they rule the world; certainly the house they live in". I can be vague in my feelings toward people who diffidently don't like cats and want me to know about it. Don't know why. Having just typed that I just spent an hour going through my pix in Bridge finding the best shot I could find of the Cat of my life. Slides. And my lst months in Portland. I started out with a dog named Prints and a cat named Slides. So here she is: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/031125_135505.jpg.html In 2003 her last month on planet Earth. She is now in Kitty heaven laying under the tuna tree. This is one of the first 100 digital pix I ever snapped. The very first one I ever took was of her. Elmo was also a very popular subject for Leica glass tests. Or film tests. Or Sandisk tests. Flash tests. -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography mark at rabinergroup.com > From: Montie Talbert <montoid at earthlink.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2010 11:54:15 -0400 (GMT-04:00) > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] 2500 iso now rant > > I don't trust people who don't like cats! ;-) > > Personally, I've come to believe they are sentient little > creatures who don't particularly care what the two-legged > planet reapers think about them. ;) "They are what they are" > > Montie > > >>> I don't particularly like cats.<< > > I enjoy a flower shot occasionally.
