Up late again today… it was nice just laying in bed, waking occasionally to sneer at the clock and doze off again.
We had planned to go to the Lawn & Garden show, but after I’d got the dishes washed my back was really hurting… but I took some Aleve and was good in about fifteen minutes, so away we went.
Got lots of images, saw lots of people that I knew… including one, Larry, who was my neighbor when I lived in Oakland in 1980-1981, heh. And… he’d divorced and married a nurse that I knew, one of my smoking buddies way back when. Of course, I didn’t know who she was married to, she never mentioned his name.

We wandered around for an hour or so, I got lots of images, and Jean’s camera was out of battery, so she didn’t get any. They were supposed to close at 16:00 so things started slowing down and I had a sit-down for a while.
When we got home, we did a chicken in the NuWave machine… I hadn’t used it for a long time. The chicken was perfect in 90 minutes… pretty big bird, 6+ pounds.
After supper we watched Masterpiece Theater… I really like their movies better than

most commercial movies, they have like, plots and build characters and stuff like that, that most movie-makers find boring, I guess. After all, they can do the whizz-!BANG! stuff, who needs a plot? And if the character is engaging enough physically (if you know what I mean) you don’t need for them to have a character, heh.
And – I got about 50 processed images out of the 250 that I took… good day. Many of the images have a lot of grain due to the high ISO needed for the lighting… You really need a tripod to shoot in low-light with low ISO, and I’m not up to lugging that much stuff around in a crowd….
I was going to call Joe’s Mom, but I really just couldn’t… a mutual friend had talked to her and said that she was still really shook up. Joe did have some cousins, so she does have relatives there. I will definitely call her tomorrow.

“Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burned, tortured, fined, and imprisoned, yet we have not advanced one inch toward uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half of the world fools and the other half hypocrites.” – Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia
Thanx for being here… all these years!!!!
