Kinda interesting to look at.

On the other hand, go out to our beach (on Hood Canal) at any low tide. Look across the sand. Lots of *sand* dollars. Lots and Lots and LOTS of sand dollars. with the sun in the right place, *thats* a "million dollar" photo.

It's been quite a number of years since I shopped in a store for Christmas. Last year I did much of my Christmas shopping on Cyber Monday.
