I would heartily agree with everything Todd has said, especially WRT to LMB removal.
And by the way, if you'd rather not have Todd visit but are too polite to say so, just mix in some strategically placed snake pictures along with your pond pics.......
First, let me just say that I think I am now on track to eventually catch up to JHAP based on your comment, Yolk! While he's off counting his beans (a la Dr. Evil - "One, two . . . three. All there!"
), I'm making useful posts!
As for the snake pics thing, that's just dirty pool, man!
