I'm with Galen on the fashion statement.

I was casting more toward the skirt/kilt-ware.

Yeah, as an alternate I think it's mostly okay.

I've got photos of both with friends in remtoe places.

Well, there are undercurrent mailings which go on off thhe broadcast.
One just got the Svea pump.  And I have similarly gotten gears,
journals, books, tours/visits, topos, etc.  It depends on the group
and te people (Reingold would say virtual community).

Oh yeah, there are a lot of home made jobs.
My acquaintance Ken has a web site about this, but he got
dropped from an important Conference during one of his demos.

FTs will be in the new week as the new AVP film come out.
Those guys like to use flame in their films.
Unfortunately, I will be travelling back from work in Europe
to defer a shopping trip.  There was a good description in the
Time magazine about D-Day in June by one operator who survived WWII.
And I recommend the film Them with James Arness and James Whitmore.
Or if Maohai were here, the remake of The Thing with Kurt Russell
(required viewing in remote parts of the world).
