I don't think my mom will give it to me, and even then, I don't know if my
scanner will pick up the correct color, but I'd love to scan that photo for
you all..  "Olive Green" I mean, go open up a can of peas, leave them out
for a day, then drain out the water, and take a look..  that's the exact
color...

You ever get the feeling, when you are about to become intimate with
Photoshop for the next two weeks of your life??
