Bonnie, Private Eye is darker in real life, and very velvet like, My camera doesn't catch that. Sorry I couldn't have been the one to lure you into buying Whistling

OK Tom, you may or may not have been the one that tempted me to order Private Eye (I did lurk here before I joined a good while) but you are totally responsible for just posting Edge of the World and it made me catch my breath. All that color drama with the neat beard to boot. gotta get it, i'm done for, top of the list.....

Thanks to whoever called it "Drunks at Sunset", that's what I call it now. Maybe if I take Tom's advice and rehydrate with beer, that name will hold true. Green Grin!
