Looks good, Mike. Loved the rainbow, and the portrait. What do Rastas do for a 
vacation? I suppose at one time they might have gone to Ethiopia to try to 
catch a glimpse of HIM Haile Selassie, but that's not an option anymore. Well, 
strike that. Depending on the quality of the Ganja, it may just be possible to 
converse with HIM. <g>
