Hey

It's very possible that The Stinkeye went MIA because
of all the snow. It's also possible that it's just
buried (we hope). It's a realy small film cannister
microbox. Someone suggested that we put a stone on it
to keep it from washing away in the snow. As soon as
the snow melts we'll check to see if it's lost or just
buried. Either way it will be replaced/improved upon
as soon as the snow melts. Sorry it didn't turn up,
but it sounds like you managed to find "a few" others
:) Thanks for the update.

Jim and Jen
