You left out shooting bunnies and foxes ;)Quote:

We actually had an old couch we used to chuck in the back of the ute, with the back of the couch against the back of the cab. That way we could kneel in comfort while shooting :DQuote:

Oh yeah, I know the 'Beal, some of my students come from there.Quote:

Happy CNY to all! There's many different new year's day in different cultures, however, CNY is the only other one widely celebrated in other countries. You can also see this on FB posts and the like (news).
For the others, Happy Superbowl Sunday/Monday! :)
