It is definitely the most trying time of my life. I've had terrible losses, but they weren't ongoing waves of danger like this, and I weathered them with shoulders to lean on. Now the shoulders are virtual. The shoulders are there, virtual or otherwise! Use your support system, use us, we're all he...

With the existing shot, the trick is to find a balance of color among the various glasses without looking 'staged'. By switching the Mountain Dew with the Root Beer I would create the needed contrast on the end and reduce the lost feeling. However, that would put the two dark colas like bookends. M...
