...leon, not to mention those shrimp on the barbie.<br /><br />tim, I like the local sparklers as well. Champagne is different and it's still one of my favorites.<br /><br />lesley, it's a 3-D thing alright; you can walk right 'round it. But it's certainly not glass.<br /><br />mitch, and not a virgin in sight.<br /><br />judy, oh, I've missed that one!<br /><br />jean, one of these days! :)<br /><br />evelyn, I remember seeing those bulls, too!<br /><br />ron, do you keep some on hand for just such occasions, or does somebody have to go out and find it?<br /><br />martine, I will do that! And thanks for the well wishes!<br /><br />starman, it's about 25" diagonal, wide screen.

It's slightly tilted and there is wine (coloured water, actually) flowing out of it in the underlying basin. You should go and see it the next time you visit Amy!
