Gene...I know you better than that...I didn't mean for that to come across that way but in rereading it I can see where it did.  Hey, I'm not a straight party ticket guy like most people probably think...I actually voted for Welstone back in '90 (I think it was).

The photos from Australia were great...I especially liked the duck among the reeds and the outcropping of rocks along the shoreline...very nice.

Glad you liked the videos.  I no longer have the cockatiels.  The female died a couple years after that video was taken.  She was such a sweetheart.  I never bonded with the male and found him a new owner shortly after Coocoo died.  That was a sad time for me.
