A co-worker (and photo enthusiast) also told me he thought it was leaning to the left. So I gave it a 0.5 degree twist to the right. I must agree, it is better when it's not leaning over.

Thanks, Brent and Penny. This was taken from my office window. I had my camera with me today for other reasons, so I thought I'd see what I could do with an early morning needle shot. We moved here from Chicago in '99-'00, and I think my one trip to the top was in '02 or '03.

Were you shooting pictures from my porch Charlie? :-) Nicely done- you might want to give her a nudge to the right. You know I haven't been up in the thing since '91, how about you?
