The Coffee House

[SquarePeg51]

Just back from the senior night festivities for the varsity field hockey team. The woman who usually takes all the pics for the event has a senior on the team this year so asked me to cover it for her. I've taken pics from the sidelines many times but this time was on the field at the 50 for the introductions. Hard to find a spot where people aren't backlit by the lights! And of course it was a light rain. Used the Fuji 90mm so had to zoom with my feet all over the place. Then switched to the 18-55 for photos with the families after the game and couldn't figure out why my settings looked off. I hadn't used that lens since the beach the other day and the polarizer was still on. Argh! Hopefully got good enough to fix them up. I converted a few in camera raw and they look ok. Too tired to edit them tonight.

Phone says it won't top 60 degrees today.
Says humidity is 97% however.
Off to work before too long.

Dagnabbit. The truck charged all night but wouldn't start this morning. Then it did.
Got here late and disconnected the battery.
Now it's doing the same thing. A starter is needed. Only 8.40 for the week so far.
Not good.

I think what stopped me was that I was afraid of organic chemistry and math, and then I got hooked on Linguistics before I could take a harder science class to test myself. I still really like the thought of lab work, though and hope to someday take some Bio and Chem classes now that I can do so for free at my community college.

Do it! Bio and chem labs were so much fun.

I still remember it was like the first week, and the person running the lab just went over everything and said that if we break anything, we pretty much have to pay for it. Well, what did I do? I dropped a test tube with a bunch of little metal beads that scattered all over everywhere. He must have seen the look of horror on my face, because he was nice about it. LOL.

Organic is a monster.

I loved organic chemistry, but I had a great professor. The only university level chemistry class that I got an A in, LOL.

For something like this, if you still have your retinas after looking at it...

Whoa!!! That's bright!!!!!! Might want to warn us ahead of time. LOL FYI I like it, I like it very much!!!

Thank you!

I don't know Wade, the teacher in me would send you back to work on it some more so I'd get what the intention was or where you were going with this idea... maybe you're on to something I just don't quite get.

What do you get out of the image? The student in me would fight back with, "art is what exists in our own minds".

The "normal" portrait of Roxy was okay, but underwhelming. I've taken those images before. This image, though; it screamed to make it "bright and different", and who am I to change what it wants?

You are The Man! (An A in Organic ... I bet you even studied.)

Are you sure it's the starter? Is the battery taking/holding a charge? Is the alternator alternating? The voltage-regulator regulating? Starters are pretty reliable and when they fail, it's usually noisy and smelly.

Studying was a bad habit of mine in college.

Organic just "made sense" to me. I could easily visualize everything in my head.

Really ... man, those chains go on forever.

Studying was a bad habit of mine in college.

I always found that I could party right up to about 7 pm of the night before an exam which put me in a relaxed mood, then cram all night. That way I still retained something at test time the next day

Being born with the ability to speed read and comprehend helped. Unfortunately the retention part has never been a strong trait.

My idea of partying was watching science fiction movies and TV shows before/during studying...

The Alternator does alternate. A man who should know said I had a dead cell in the battery. $104.50 later it is starting like it should.
I forgot pennies this morning. As it turns out she doesn't need them before Thursday. Gonna go through stuff I already rolled and if so much as a blemish or scratch and it's GONE!

A little seasonal humor.

Did you know that if you divide a pumpkin's circumference by a pumpkin's diameter it will = pumpkin π

Sorry It's been a rainy dreary day, and I got bored. LOL
