We have a job to do, then!

Careful with it. As Seneca said: "He who has great power should use it lightly."

Anyway, there was a revelation to be found ... THIS THREAD IS ABOUT A CAMERA !!!

I think that I have been hood-winked ...

I thought that it was ... "I've GOT the power!"

They must have stomped some HUGE grapes!

Mr Parallax, sir! I don't mean to be imprudent or anything, but you have used the wrong search phrase. If you instead google "cheap bottles of Bordeaux" you'll find us on the first page.

Remember, with great power comes great responsibility!

PS: A retired friend just got home from a month (or more) of staying with family. He said the first thing they were going to do was walk around touching things and saying "this is mine, this is mine, this is mine, too..."

But which kind of power did Amy get, great or absolute? I'm not familiar with Alabama utility companies.
