bob kramer got a little cheeky and took me to task for owning so many

well, there are a couple of reasons. the first being that the car dealership

is in a bad part of town, in order to get to it we have to ride the subway 
through those places where tires are burning on the steet and tom wolfe is 
shaking his head going "i'm not getting out _here_" and ever since i picked 
most of the vulcanite off of my m3, everybody thinks it's some piece of junk
i got at a yard sale (and the truth of the matter is it's some piece of junk

that i got in media p.a.) and no one's interested in stealing it.... 

the second was that i had about 20 exposures left on the roll in that camera

and seven rolls of undeveloped film sitting in a box at home waiting to get 
developed and my developing can holds 8 rolls, so i wanted to finish that 
one up..... another reason is that i just got that aux finder which b.d. 
rates somewere along the lines of "about as good as looking through a soda 
straw stuffed with gauze" (not his exact words -- he said something about an

orange juice can that escapes me at the moment) and i wanted to check it
out. 
(it's not that bad, though the bright lines, well, you can see any 3 of them

at once, take your pick)
