;-)
Now I even know what it is!
Nice idea.

Ottimo work ....Bravo....

I just call it a 'blood pressure thing'. LOL Very nice exposure and composition but the real merit is in the thoughts about health concerns it conjures up. Well done! Vote
Best to you,
Dick:)

Excellent B&W.

Jeff Lobaugh12-Jun-2009 01:27
Why yes I can! Wonderful composition!

Difficult to say.
Al Chesworth11-Jun-2009 22:52
Ah so that's what it's called, I thought it was for blood pressure reading.
Walter Otto Koenig11-Jun-2009 22:42
I can't say it. I can only say tire gauge. Nice one for the challenge. Very clear and sharp.
J. Scott Coile11-Jun-2009 22:27
NEVER COULD SAY IT ;-)
joanteno11-Jun-2009 22:25
The question is can you spell it?
Cindi Smith11-Jun-2009 22:24
I call it a blood pressure reader...much easier to say! LOL!

as the digital ones don't always give a correct reading, then let us remember this old workhorse !!!
