pleasant and peaceful time, whatever your religious persuasion, and
sincere
best wishes for the coming year to you all.

Thaks Pete and the same to you. For a bit of humor, check out this ad
from British (I assume) TV:

LOL!
Thanks Steve :-)

It brought back many happy memories of the old Hamlet ads they used to run
on British TV, where there would be a disaster and then a dissolve to a guy
smoking a Hamlet cigar, accompanied by Bach's "Air on a G string"...

I must say, it looked like a very up-market car park...:-) (They are all
right-hand drive, so I guess it's the U.K., although it could be
Australia... Not NZ, such cars would be rare here and the chances of two in
a row are pretty unlikely...) I currently have the hood down on my
convertible and I had some sympathy forthe Ferrari guy :-)

I remember going to Malibu one Sunday with some friends. I photographed a
crossing where the cars were waiting for an elderly man to hobble across the
road. The order of cars was: Ferrari, Ferrari, Land Rover, Maserati, Ferarri
:-). Talk about the affluent society... :-)

Pete.
