Today was the day … the last day for GTV. The lights at the station were turned out for the last time, and we all turned in our keys and walked away.
Tomorrow, I start a new position at Howard Community College, doing much the same as I was at GTV, with the added benefit [...]
Okay, I know. Really crappy, badly backlit picture, I know. But the only camera I had within quick, easy reach was my iPhone.
The point is, if Kiah the bird, and Darjha the cat can both happily relax on Donna at the same time, why can’t the supposedly "enlightened" and "intelligent" humans get along?
Moments after [...]
I passed a new Buick on the way home from a meeting this evening, and it really looked nice.
Post Revisions:There are no revisions for this post.
Instead of shooting stills today, I thought I’d shoot some video at Wilde Lake. The video camera allowed me to capture some antics that I’d never have been able to with the still camera.
Click the little triangle to play the clip.
Note:Some folks have reported problems loading the video clip. If the clip does not load [...]
Today found us at Wilde Lake again. Gee, there’s a surprise, huh? While there, we ran into friends Michael, Lisa and Bob, and Warren and his wife. We had a great time, taking pictures and talking about the wildlife surrounding the lake.
We got all the usual (and some unusual) shots of the Great Blue [...]
Donna and I went to a Wilde Lake Village Board meeting this evening (even though we don’t live in Wilde Lake), at which there was a lengthy, if not incomplete, discussion of changes to the lake to better manage silt, etc. Several residents are adamant that a portion of the plan would include removal of [...]
Postal rates go up again tomorrow. I understand that part of the issue is that the cost of fuel is through the roof. But, the PO is still complaining that e-mail has eroded their business and driven up their cost per letter. This comes from the same hypocrites that gave away CD ROMS for the [...]
We took a walk around Wilde Lake tonight. Unfortunately, we got there a little late for photographs, although I did manage to snag a couple of good ones of this Great Blue Heron. He posed fairly well for us for a while, and then got tired of us and went off to find some dinner.
Even [...]
Once upon a time, before the Interstate Highway System, our nation’s roadways were dotted with something called "motor courts" — the forerunner of our modern hotels and motels. Most were family-owned and operated, and the layout was pretty much the same — a U-shaped, single-story building with the rooms (which consisted of a single [...]
The new sofa arrived from Bassett’s on Saturday afternoon. That was cause for a fair amount of scurrying around to make room for it, as all of the AcoustiSound equipment was stacked in the living room. I had been meaning to get out all last week and get a sheet of heavy plywood to “floor” [...]
