AN ALMOST ALL LADIES NIGHT AFFAIR.....
THE WOMEN WERE HAPPY TO BE THERE AND TO
HAVE THEIR PICTURES TAKEN....
BUT THEN AGAIN WHO DOESN'T LOVE
TO GET THEIR PICTURE TAKEN....
I PACK A PRETTY IMPRESSIVE LOOKING CAMERA SO
THEY MAY HAVE THOUGHT I WAS SOMEONE OF
IMPORTANCE AND THEIR PICTURE WOULD
SHOW UP IN THE LOCAL PAPER....
