The Streak Goes On<\/h3>\n

First off, I would like to give a shout out to Quazi Ahmed Hussain who was tricked 100% by my Canon new gear belated April Fool’s spoof. In a comment here<\/a> he wrote: “If my Guru fools me; I feel honored. Because this means he cares about me. Where else can I get this honor! Hats off to you Guru. I mean what I said above<\/em>.” Quazi, thanks for your kind words and for being so understanding and accepting. <\/p>\n
