[Rhodes22-list] UPS Colors

[Leland]

Mary Lou,

Boatpix buzzed me last summer.  The angel on my shoulder tells me it's way
too expensive, but I'll probably listen to the devil who says it's cheap for
boat money.  Even though you can return the photo, I hate that you need to
purchase it sight unseen and don't get an electronic copy (scanned photo?).

I like your justification that it's cheaper than hiring a helicopter and
professional photographer!
