A typical situation where the headlight switch comes in handy is when you drag a body into the woods to bury it at night. You don`t want the motor running all the time but you still need some light.

And to think that I wrote a personal recommendation to allow you to move to the United States. [uhoh]

With his sense of humour, maybe Michael is a decendent of the "Laughing Murderer", Crown Prince Wilhelm:

The newspapers at home were cruelly unjust to me in this, representing me as responsible for all the bloodshed. They even called me "the laughing murderer of Verdun."

Our soldiers at the front knew better. A dozen incidents showed their affection for me, and their knowledge as to where the responsibility really lay.

Wow Mike, for once I couldn't agree more with you. Sometimes the moonlight just doesn't do the job.

Another good use is to use it to photograph old theaters at night when there is no street lighting bright enough to get a shot for Cinematour. The fact that is looks suspicious enough to get the cops harassing you adds to the fun.

Wait, that was YOUR fault??? Oh my. Joe will be along to ban you shortly. [Razz]

Sorry to upset you - that is just our standard procedure for employees who don`t load the DTS discs in the player.

I haven't had a chance to adjust the shutter. Our Theater is being used for a Beauty Pageant this week. Friday we'll show Shrek 2 maybe I'll get a chance to play then. We have a simple web page http://web.infoave.net/~tracycitybc I'll add some more pictures soon. PS I'm still trying to figure how headlights wired through the ignition switch will fix my problem?

You can`t expect any more responses to your question until you post pictures of the beauty contest.
