For you guys, perhaps. You should have seen some of
the footwork going on at our end. :))

I would hazard to suggest it was because Richard Goodwin
(who was operating the database from the start on Saturday
morning [~5:00] until a couple of hours after the finish
on Sunday morning - I left the building at 6:30 am and he
was still there) - was probably fast asleep.  Richard
needs his sleep in order to have the brain power to
analyze stuff when the DB burps - which it usually does
at the worst possible time. Usually he manages to take
a nap sometime in the early hours - but not this year.

Thanks Morris. It's nice to read all these replies
from people. After getting 5 and half hours sleep in
the last 65 hours, you start getting a bit down (mostly
about the immensity of the task ahead, looking balefully
at the piles of photos). The feedback perks you up and
gives you enthusiasm to continue.

Incidentally, speaking of - I re-uploaded the Robie photos
which somehow got saved as huge 300 kb files (the ones that
pop up when you click on the thumbnails) when they should
have been more like the 90 kb they are now. Sorry about that.
Wondered why they took so long to upload. <g>

I'm in the process of redoing the 'Squaw' ones, but the
automated thingy isn't working, so I have to do them by
hand... Only another 127 to go...  I won't get the rest
of the Watson's Monument photos up tonight (the bed beckons),
but will try to finish them tomorrow. There are some amazing
shots - I'm *so* pleased with them! so definitely take a
look when I manage to get them up.
