  Okay.  Actually I was talking to Russ last night
(who was at the FW with me) while we were repairing
my deck, and he said that it rained for 3 or 4 minutes
after the FW started, so that was probably when I got
the drop(s).

  I might have to lower that estimate. I mounted the
second best one last night and found the retinal
rivalry quite annoying. Still it's quite a nice shot.

  I talked to my brother Pat last night also and he
said that he thought that certain bursts were very
dim (which included the ones that came out very dim
on my photos). So, another semi-mystery solved.

  Good luck new year or next fireworks occasion.

  Have fun in Green Bay.
