Snapshots








I don't have the picture skills that the other computer geeks have so for the moment these snapshots will have to do! (The pink Indian suit is very comfortable; it's like wearing pajamas in the middle of the day. The sari on the other hand is a glorified toga that is impossible to walk in and the most uncomfortable - and unflattering - garment ever made.)
