Great work as always.

Hi, Bruce.  Thanks.  It's always good to hear from you after putting up some
new stories.  @8^)  I appreciated your detailed comments on the last set and
felt kinda bad for never replying to say so.  Maybe I will yet!

I particularly laughed out loud at the skinny cows in
the Pharoah's dream.

I was proud of my new cows that are all built "upside-down".  This allowed
the fat cows to have what looks like eyes and a mouth line, and let the
skinny cows have teeth.  @8^)

Also funny is your use of Sandpeople heads for the
embalmed Joseph and Jacob.  Just wondering why you didn't get that new mummy
from the Studios Monsters sets?

I realized on the day I was finishing that story that the new mummy minifig
would have been perfect for the part, but I couldn't get my hands on one.  I
went to several area stores just to find it, but no luck.  It seems they
only have the new Studio sets on LEGO.com so far.  And I was in a hurry
since I desperately wanted to finish the new stories and get them online
before heading off on vacation for 2 weeks.  I even posted to my .loc group
asking if anyone had a mummy fig I could borrow for a couple of photos and
then return, but alas I had to think of another way to make my embalmed
figures.  I thought they came out looking pretty good.  Perhaps when I do
get my hands on the mummy I'll reshoot the scenes.  We'll see.

Also, where did you get the octagonal grey
pillar piece? I think it was in "Joseph and the Eunuch's Wife".

Um... I don't readily recall.  Sorry.  @8^/

Oh, another great construction detail was the white wheels as tops and
bottoms of pillars.

Thanks.  I think I borrowed this idea from somebody else, but can't remember
who offhand...

Thanks for your continued attention to detail!  @8^)
