This is also very cool. This micro mini car museum is liquidating and selling off there inventory. Had no idea some of those cars were worth so much!

There is a 4000mm focal length, weighing in at 205 lbs lens, in that imagery, JJ. A lens that would be great to use!

I could think of a few uses.

Probably costs less than Nikon's new 800mm f/5.6 VR @ $18K

:shock: Good thing I have a car and feet, and pretty much everything I shoot stays put so I can walk/drive right up to it... :lol:

And my furkid had his 17th birthday today.

Nice! :D

I've only had one furkid make it to/past 17. That was a pure-bred Siamese cat who never really was all that comfortable in my multi-furkid home. She spent most of her time hiding from the other critters in closets and cabinets. She was about 19 when she died.

The longest-lived dog I ever had was Muffin, a little wire-haired terrier-something mixed mutt who I finally had to have put down in 1996 at the age of 16. That decision and a very personal memory a coworker of mine told me about the next day inspired me to write this short story (external link).

Yep, nice story that somehow you believe. Dogs can have that 6th sense.

They absolutely have a 6th sense. My 17 year old furkid is totally deaf but yet he knows when one of our cars is about to come home. It can be a block away but he knows.

YAY my work computer has just been taken over by the Ukash virus, it is locked with a meesage that saysI have to pay a fine withing 72 hours to get it unlocked. Considering we are supposed to have state of the art virus protection it has managed to get around it. Just as well I have a backup and can format the hard drive if I need to! They won't get a single cent out of me or my company that is for sure! I have the I.T. guru coming in, he reckons he can get rid of it.
