I like cacti and succulents, have a little pot (more like dish or platter) of
six of 'em in my room :)

	I used to have a little one in a pot velcroed to the top of my car's
dashboard. It lived for years on coffee dregs and an occassional bit of
coke. And the looks it would get were worth every penny of the $2 it
cost. If I could have managed a camera I would have a great collection
of pedestrian double-takes at crosswalks.

Cool. Yeah, those cacti are tough.

I thought everything that grew in Holand had flowrs, so why were
you surprised?

Thes eplants will rot here before then can get flowers. That is, outdoors.
Indoors you'd need a high ceiling. The question mark was because I wasn't sure I
used the right frase/word/term (here I go again).

I wonder why you post your JPG as a progressive type and not as a 
straight type? First image I posted was progressive and nearly everybody 
fell over me :-(  
BTW it is nice and life-like, I wouldn't want to cut myself with it :)

Progressive is smaller, and no one ever gave me any trouble over it.. if
it's a problem, someone let me know, and I'll turn it off.

The standard viewer of my newsreader doesn't accept progressive jpg's; I 
have to resort to another one. But if I'm the only one: don't bother... 
I'll do that.

Ah, no need. It's only a small reduction in filesize anyway; I'll turn
it off.
