Hehe, it does us all a little good.

Sides, they're having fun, nothing like a little direct/indirect fire in the morning to start of the day

I wanted to join the Army, but thanks to a long pre-existing injury, they wouldn't take me. Made my dad feel better (he's Army), since he managed to convince my little brother to go Air Force, but couldn't sway me. Oh well, the FAFSA's been useful in paying for college.

It's difficult to get this sort of shot, even when it is posed. People tend to over-act. It's pretty sharp of you to have caught a natural shot, such as this.

The shot may not be posed, but you seem pretty skillful in finding yourself in the right place at the right time.

Beautiful capture.
