Photo Of The Day

so good, thanks for posting that!

You're very welcome. You might also enjoy this amusing postscript:

What a great story. It's like david vs goliath but in numbers

Really dislike that 'move nature to accommodate us' view.

Why not invest in something that solves the problem, like wire spacers to prevent them from touching (like those things on brake / gear cables that keep them separate) or some such. I guess that requires thought and money.

Definitely. Nature won't give up, though. :)

NA office could have used a little help on that front.

First attempt with my iPhone 4.
