Reminds me of the movie "Them", sippy. Only the old guys will remember that one.

Thanks, Kpmac. I remember that movie, so you and I must be among the old guys. My grandfather would take me to the movie house for the $.25 matinee, which was often cheesy horror films back then. Communism and radioactive creatures were common themes. I don't know why anyone would have wanted to live in Japan in those days for it was home to many monsters and the cities were always destroyed.
Twenty-five cents won't buy an afternoon of entertainment today regardless of how silly the movie is.

The only detail missing in creating the exceptional detail is - black or cream & sugar?

Raymondh, The most dangerous drinking game I've ever played is the one to see how long I can go without a cup of coffee.
I enjoy each rich cup with a spoon of Cremora (unflavored). I brew it one cup at a time with a "fill it yourself" coffee ground holder in a Keurig coffee maker.Oct 11, 2023 13:44:14 #
Beautiful and clean! I wonder if black and white would be good for this one?

Excellent! I'm surprised it only took one cup of coffee! How you focus stack is still a mystery to me. I am watching videos and trying to learn but seems quite intense. Thanks for your expertise.

The face looks like it speaks seldom but with authority... tight lipped with a small mustache.
