Nobody will understand the emotional pull of Mul until you've driven it in the black of night, balls out, with LA and the Valley shimmering down below. Leave that for the book.

This morning Dave and I received a nice email from Peter Linsky of Excellence Magazine. Peter is a very considerate person and it was sure nice of him to give us a heads up on the article and photos. Thank you again Peter for your fine article.

Good morning, Chris and Dave-

I was just looking at the Pelican chatroom thread...and noted some disappointment at the photos used in the article. I want all to know that I submitted everything I shot, plus all of yours and Dave's, but once the story is in the editor's hands, the art director picks and chooses what he wants to use. As I noted the other day, the article was trimmed and edited considerably, as were all the others in that issue. You'll note that the magazine has also reduced its page count, and that's due to a dropoff in advertising revenues...an unfortunate byproduct of the current economy, and one I hope is only temporary. That forces shorter articles. I really had hoped that they would use Dave's time exposure and the street sign shot for additional flavor...but they didn't. Sorry some feathers were ruffled.

Cheers!
