No doubt some day all movies will be digital. Purists may insist on film for artistic reasons, at their peril.

It's hard to psych out the political climate in small communities.

To illustrate: While we were moving in to our current house three years ago, a woman walked by with her dog, who took a dump at the end of our paved driveway. She went around the culdesac and my wife was waiting with a plastic bag for her when she came by. "Perhaps you'd like to clean up after your dog," my wife said.

The woman went into a tirade about how we were in a county that didn't have a leash law, and she didn't have to pick up after her dog, and if we didn't like it to move some where else, etc. etc. She was still ranting as she rounded the corner out of sight, while our moving crew was laughing so hard they could hardly eat their lunch. One of them asked my wife if it was OK if he took a dump in our driveway too. We all laughed about it as we ate our pizza.

Conventional "wisdom" would peg a woman like that as a rightwinger redneck, or maybe a libertarian. No leash law is the ultimate in freedom from government, right?
