Barry,

Ah, the piney woods! Riding my bike up Kennesaw mountain in the fall. Lived
in Chamblee, Buckhead and Marietta from about age 4 to 11. I do miss the
fall. We don't get any weather to speak of around here. I would love to get
back there with my view camera some day. Around here it sometimes seems like
you are falling into tripod holes everywhere you turn.
