Good Luck with avoiding Lord of the Rings. I am little bummed. I had been waiting for a show to come on TV. But it was replaced by PRIVATE RYAN. Apparently in support of Vetrans day. I wound up working on a large panorama picture. I messed the thing up. WAYYY to much overlap and the colors didn't seem to match. Plus it looked like I moved at times. Strange. I'll try to post it once I get it fixed. Christmas blitz is starting early here. The latest Wallmart type store already has a Christmas decoration section. Toys R Us also has started it's Christmas media blitz. Typicaly the Christmas propaganda in the US starts the day after the Thanksgiving holiday. Which is the Novenber 24. So I guess they are about two weeks early. I guess that's not so bad. The place has a mascot. It's a white dog with a red target symbol over it's eye. I would have taken a picture just to turn peoples stomach BUT I didn't bring my smaller camera. Personally I want to see the Matrix II. I thought it was comming out this year. OK. Off to works. Bsteph
