One reason that tweeters has not heard much out of the peanut gallery here
in West Seattle is because of my heavy work load. My work load is heavy
because I am now in deep debt. I am in deep debt because of my new
Swarovski ST-80 High Definition Spotting Scope, with 20-60 zoom eyepiece,
optional camera adapter and Bogen tripod to boot.

Fortunately, one of the jobs I am holding down is working in the field
with birds, so I actually get to use it, which also makes the scope a
business exspense ;) . It is pretty unbelivable. I think I may even be in
town on July 12 to show it off.

By the way, I have a extra futon here in my small apartment if anyone from
out of town needs a place to crash.
