in the English language that I have run across, that simply delights my profoundly hard of hearing ears to hear, lenticular, lenticular, lenticular!!

Try saying that 3 times very fast!! Ha ha heh...I know I'm being goofy, but sometimes the English language does this to me, w/ some of its' words.

Beats the hell out of wall clouds. I got one or two of those ... and ran right back into the house.

Clouds are (almost always) the photographer's best friends.

Lennies were indicative of mountain wave activity, which was primo for long times aloft in gliders.

Congrats on surviving and enjoying.

You and Harold and Kumar.

I sure hope you had some delicious sliders afterwards. (unless you're vegetarian)

Yeah, I know, that's some other kind of craft.

CIAO!
