thanks for the story.. I always love reading them ..
your have a great writing style btw ...
congratulations on getting out of your comfort zone and getting an excellent photo to boot ..
and of course 4th place .. :)

ps .. I love knowing the origins of sayings .. and to boot was screaming out to be googled ..

"The saying �to boot� comes from an Old English word bot, meaning �advantage� or �remedy.� It's related to the contemporary English words better and best, so if something's �to boot,� it's added or extra."
