Car Life -- Correction

[Bob Rathke]

I forgot to mention that the camera equipment seller was in California (about 60
miles from San Diego), and I live about 35 miles north of Chicago...so the mail
delivery wasn't "across the street."

And to keep this message on-subject, I want to say that I'll use the camera
equipment to photograph remaining PRC tracks on my next visit to Pittsburgh.
