Glad you didn't get arrested, it's too far to bail you out or bring in a cake with a file inside.Try not to do too many dangerous things with that camera,didn't you know cameras are now on the dangerous weapons list.I guess if I lived in a country as gloomy as Russia it would be hard to smile.Keep sending the blogs they arre great.Love Mausie
