I don't know why, but every time this thread shows up in the Active Topics list, I read it as "Child pornography for doting mamas"

Maybe I shouldn't post a funny emoticon but why your mind went to porno instead of photography is what I find funny... (because obviously there's nothing at all funny about that topic for real). Before I dig myself in any deeper I think I'm done! I'm tired out after the weekend and an early night in sounds good right about now.

That's exactly it, though - why the heck would I keep parsing that as "pornography" on a photography forum?? Once, maybe, because of seeing it out of the corner of my eye or something, but all the time? I think I watch too much Law and Order

That is so odd ... me too.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. We're leaving the quaint town of Quincy and Jim McClain. We went shooting yesterday early early morning and in the afternoon. Jim is a wonderfully nice guy with tons of stories. We're now about to depart down the hill to Ft. Bragg in Mendicino and the Pacific.

I really enjoyed your visit, Gary. But you are too kind - I prattle. Comes from having so little company (people are uncomfortable around "sick" people) and I don't have employees anymore that are paid to listen to me go on, and on, and...

I did so enjoy it though. I've only gone on one photo trek with another person. I should do that more often. Thanks to you and Mary Lou for putting up with me for a couple of days and all the changing of the o2 tanks and my chatter. And thanks to Cookie for letting me pet her (I love teh doggies). Be safe and enjoy the rest of your trip.

Jim

No putting up at all. Jim is a great guy living in the middle of incrediably beautiful country.

All iPhone photos:

From the mountains ...

To the prairie ...

To the ocean white with foam ...

Made it from Quincy to Ft. Bragg.

OK, I see I'm going to have to start this off today. Ran around alternately socializing and doing errands all weekend, but took a few photos, one of which I'll post elsewhere.

Back at work with coffee and snack. Who else is back at work and grumpy about it?

I'm grumpy... does that count?

Gary A. · May 26, 2015

Grumpy is my middle name.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. It is 50F this morning in Ft. Bragg. It is a bit foggy with very heavy mist ... the kind you can see. Typical Northern California coastal weather ... Leo weather. She would absolutely love it here all year round. Today we're off to introduce ourselves to a select few Mendicino County wineries.

Found a Starbucks ... so some real coffee this morning. Not that I'm a fan of Starbucks, but it's significantly better than the hot brown water crap that comes with a room.

I'm back at work this morning, AND had one of our monthly two-hour meetings to talk about how much work we all have to do already. Who schedules a meeting like that the day after a holiday??!?
And on top of that, my mother spent the night in the ER. They were going to admit her but didn't have a room so my 88-year-old mother spent the entire night on a gurney. She's home now, though, and okay. Ish.

AND on top of that--I *should* be headed to the beach for vacation on Thursday…but now, I'm not.

Y'all can have "grumpy." I'm downright cantankerous.

I just saw this on a FB page and had to share. I really don't know whether to laugh about it, or cry.

As Sheldon Cooper said, (Being Stupid) "is no reason to cry. One cries because one is sad. For example, I cry because other people are stupid, and that makes me sad." :lol:

Anyway, this is a page for birders and bird photographers. This individual--evidently new to the world of digital cameras (at least I sincerely hope so)--posted the following:
"If one re-uses their memory cards, will the photos come as just as good, clear? I shot so many photos over the weekend, I'm out of memory. Should I buy new, or reuse? curious"

:biglaugh:

I really wanted to post and say "Never, ever reuse a memory card. It's very dangerous and could potentially cause your camera to malfunction" just for kicks--but the fear that someone would either believe me, or think that *I* actually believe me, was just too great.

I go back to work Thursday. I'll be grumpy at home since it's hot enough for the A/C

There is another board where a number of people seem to think that 1) pulling memory cards out of the camera can cause major problems with things being broken or corrupted or 2) it's best to just buy a new card every time one fills up.
