Hey Dave,
Jeff Hellige, you and I are neighbors! Heck, Jeff was over a couple of
weeks ago
and I gave him the grand tour. I really enjoyed it. Four hours went by and it
seemed like we had barely started. We all ought to plan to get together for

a rare

But, the most unbelievably fascinating thing that I've seen in that

tungsten lamp filament pics are filament-1.jpg and filament-2.jpg.
