Errrrr ... sort of ... from your perspective it would be less, but from my
perspective it would be more ... too much really.  ;-)

I was going to trim them down a tad byte-wise but never got around to it. 
The resolution was set to maximum and is overkill computerly-speaking. 
They'd probably make excellent prints though.  Haven't tried that as I
don't have a printer, let alone one of those fancy-dancey digital picture
printers with the super-duper glossy printing paper especially meant for
digital picture printing.  I may take them to a commercial printer and get
at least one copy made up suitable for framing.  Probably  cheaper then
buying all that stuff.

System, society, pot-eh-toe, pot-ah-toe.  No?

Understood.  However most these days bail out for as little excuse it
takes.  Then they expect half of everything when in reality that SHOULD be
half of all the debt, since that is all there really is.  However they
don't see it that way.

Having said the above I am not referring to your or my situation, only what
I observe around me.  My particular divorce wasn't bad.  We both, my ex and
I that is, left on as best of terms that could possibly be given any
divorce.  We still talk and are very respectful of each other.  I still
have feelings for her despite the fact that I'd never be married to her
again, but that has nothing to do with anything bad ... other then my bad
boy attitude that is.  :-)

Same here.  Also I don't want to be responsible for anyone.  Dating is okay
but even there it is difficult given many, many good reasons.  Even
friendship with the opposite sex is difficult, although I have had a few
female friends over the years. Not any lately though. 

 MK>> What will be will be?

 SC> Exactly.

For sure.

Life is good,
Maurice
