Yes.  Some people have amazing good fortune.  Me,
I was with SCA friends in the Prado in Madrid and
we were excited about seeing some of the portaits
we had only seen before as small pictures in
badly printed books.  All I ever got was museum
guards telling me that my breath was corrosive
and not to stand so close.  Sigh.
