As I said, my sister lives out there and had never been there till about a year ago (maybe a bit less) but she took a bunch of pictures and told me to choose my favorite. I couldn't pick one so picked a bunch and said she could choose. Then she sent me a package with 4 8x10 pics. I was psyched and they are all now hanging on my living room wall.
I think we're going to get along great. And I'm so glad to have met you.
Well, ( belated ) good morning

Yup .. another like-minded Alcatrazian lover. The name alone conjures up so many things.
Sometimes I forget I have a computer even though I am on it nearly 24/7 for dragons and games and emails.
So .. I have a wee treat for you ...
