I love Eric Clapton's accoustic version of Layla. (I'm listening to music to keep me cheerfully processing)

That whole 'Unplugged' album is great.

LOVE Eric Clapton and I have that ^^^^ CD. It is most excellent!

A little fur on your peach will not hurt you. It sort of mats down when you wash it. I bet all the good peach stuff is in the skin anyhow. You can always just get Nectarines. They are close.

Gack!! I hate fur on my food! I eat Nectarines.

The new truck...

Straight processing:

Nice!! We use to have one just like that! Same color and everything.

Hey, John. Good thing I talked you out of going to Disneyland today. I woke up with a severe case of the lazys and decided not to go after all, myself. I hope Heather wasn't hoping to meet me there. Maybe I should text her and let her know I'm not there...

Nice new to you truck John!!

AWWWW they are adorable.



I learned my MMQ skills from some of your catch ups Jenn

Mike, Chet and Tif - nice kidlet photos.

Lisa - hope Kona gets warm soon, he looks soo cute with his big boy haircut.

Night all...See you in a couple of days. (Disneyland with some co-workers,for those that have not heard, and they are planning on closing the park)

This is going to be a long summer of very few catch ups if I stay THIS exhausted everyday!

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION: Eat and drink what you like; speaking English is apparently what kills you.

Bwahahahahahahahaha... Wait how do I laugh in another language?!?! Perhaps I need to speak Ig-pay atin-Lay.... HELP!?!?!?! I don't wanna die!!!

Quick Tifafafafafa teach us all Spanish!!!!!!

Things like this just make me more and more impressed with the work that some of my other friends have done over the past couple decades in these pioneer cemeteries without the luxury of a fast search engine. We have it so easy these days, it's almost scary...

I just hate feeling like I missed something, though.

Yeah something like that Lonnie.... I totally skimmed for this catch up... I am certain missed tons of things....

Ok this is a hi and bye evening... I barely have energy enough for that...

TOday was the first day of summer camp... For a first day... it went fairly smoothly and I couldn't really ask for more than that.... That said... I am spent... exhausted.... wiped out... ready for bed.... barely holding my head up.... UGH! I've got a pretty good group of kids and am glad I don't have some of the kids that other group leaders have...

SOMEONE must've been smiling on me because a couple of weeks ago when I looked at my group list.... my response to my two supervisors for summer was "you two people truly hate me don't you...no seriously.... you hate me.... I get it!" I looked at that list and named off 8-10 kids who would be thorns in my side for the summer... I suppose that the two of them knew what I survived this school year and dealt those 8-10 kids out of my group... I need a good summer...

I got to swim today, that was fun! And my partner group leader is cool and a hard worker...

Ok I've rambled my fingers into exhaustion with the rest of my body...

Night ya'll....

Nighters, Jenn!

I discovered I had just enough ice cream to make a single hot fudge sundae....so I did. It was yummy.

A quiz for photographers about photographic accessories:

A. Hats:

1. Meh. Take 'em or leave 'em. I've worn them at times, but it's not all that important. 1 point.
2. Oh, heck yeah. Essential. I have different hats for different settings. Floppy, ball cap, fedoras, driver's caps, you name it. 2 points.
3. No way. Never. People who wear hats all the time are dorks. 3 points.

B. Vests:

1. I can see their use, but I've never been too interested in them. 1 pt.
2. I love 'em. I have everything in my vest. It's so handy. 2 pts.
3. You gotta be kidding me. You'd never see one on me. It's embarrassing. 3 pts.

C. Nikon:

1. I'm a Canon person. To be honest, I don't know that much about Nikon. 1 pt.
2. Nikons are good cameras. Very comparable to Canon products. I personally like Canon better, but I have good friends that shoot Nikon. No problem. 2 pts.
3. Oh, c'mon. Get serious. I will kick you in the neck with a large shoe. 3 pts.

D. Bird Photography:

1. Ooo, I'm interested, but I've never got the hang of it. 1 pt.
2. I have a number of great shots of birds. I find it a vital part of my portfolio. 2 pts.
3. Oh, euphoria! I love to shoot birds! I could spend all day on a bird shoot, any time of year. 3 pts.

4-6 points: You're doing great. You have some room to grow in your photographic experience, but the potential is there!

7-10: You seem like a rational, well balanced and well dressed photographer. The world is your oyster.

11-12: Hi Chris.

Wow, pretty sure that's the only time I've ever been rational and well balanced!

so what do you all feel is a reasonable price for a used 5D, less than 10k actuations with the box and everything it came with and perhaps an extra batteyt?

Thanks, still in vacation mode.

Except they didn't, only the CD is copyrighted, otherwise how would our customers get prints?

Like John said. YOur copyright is on the photo, not the delivered product. So they can't copy any form of it without your permission.

Nope. Gotta be polka dots! :{)#

I landed here with the first three questions, but there's no answer to #4 that applies to me. So, I'm kinda stuck in limbo.

And a little scared...

Um....I know my first day back working has muddled me wee mind, but I fail to see the humour in this. Am I missing something?

hahahaha!!! got you guessing!
