Yes, I'm really tired of the SUV thread and some of the truly idiotic
generalizations that have been made about the twits who drive SUVs. I'm
sorry I let myself get sucked into it. Elmer you are a great example of
the truth. Thanks for ringing in.

Not to start another thread, but this is typical of most areas I know of
last year, the weather I mean. And then, here in N Cal this year, we

If you use highlight, be sure to spot on the brightest snow first.
Alsoc try +2/3 and +1 1/3 as well. Bracket, you know, especially with
slide film. Also, snow can take on some great colors at sunset.
