I really just had to try out this lens. I can identify though with the guy hobbling across the parking lot. My feet hurt so much I can only slowly hobble. Sometimes I think it would be better to cut them off and walk on the stubs.

     For some reason, the skin on my face was really irritated this morning.  It made for an awfully horrid blood letting during my attempt to shave.  I did manage to rub some of the hairs of my face but took a lot of skin with it.

     My son loaned me a camera lens he isn’t using.  Looking forward to trying it out, it has image stabilization which is something my old point and shoot had, and on it, it allowed me to use longer shutter speeds than I otherwise could have gotten away with hand held.  The focus on this also has some sort of reduction drive so it’s much more gradual which should make it easier to focus more accurately.

     Now if days only had 100 hours, or if I could only get away with 6 hours of sleep like I did when I was younger.  I suspect exercise then or the lack of it now might also have something to do with it.

     I haven’t had any dreams that I was able to remember this morning and only one very brief moment of a dream was I able to remember yesterday.  That’s abnormal for me as I normally have a very rich dream life and usually remember several dreams on any given morning.  It’s probably just oldtimers disease setting in and ruining my memory.

     I love how the houses are individually designed, not one architect making one designed cloned two hundred times and all painted a designated colour ordered by the local home owners association.  And the trees, different species with different shapes and shades, not all mono-culture pine.

I know we need it but yech!

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday there was money in the box, today NADA.  Yesterday it was sunny and 77ºF, today it’s rainy and 48ºF.

Any Californians thinking of moving up here, don’t cut down our trees.  Because when you do, we get irate, even more irate than God gets when a sperm is wasted.  .. And do expect rain, because April rains bring May rains, and May rains bring June rains, and about the third week of July we get two weeks of summer, then it’s fall and it rains some more.  That’s what it does up here in the Pacific NorthWet.  And your blonde hair will turn brown and you’ll get rickets from vitamin D3 deficiency because you’re not used to having to supplement with all that natural sun exposure you get down there.

Here she is, now annoyed by the flash (not enough light for clean hand-held photo).  We didn’t put these blankets around her, she does that by herself.  She is a dog that knows how to be comfortable.
