At work, with Jim's able assistance

With Jim's able assistance, I sit at my computer working and that is all I want to do. I don't want to do anything else. I don't want to take pictures. I don't want to make posts. So I might not make any more today - no, I will put up at least one school bus post. This image could almost qualify because there is a converted school bus at the left edge of the picture on my screen, beneath the airplane, but I will post another. I might yet post other pictures, too. No telling how I might feel later today. One way or the other, though, I just want to stay on this and be disturbed as little as possible until I take Margie to the movie tonight.

My "real cameras" sit dormant, but the images are active

I have not taken a single photo with my "real cameras" since I returned from up north just over one month ago. But I sure have been looking at and sorting through lots of pictures I took with those Canons. What to use - this picture? That picture? How about the other one? Narrow one selection down to 100 images, knowing that in the end I must discard 99 of them - maybe all 100, in favor of something else – which might not even be as good a photograph, but is more critical to the coverage. Actually, I will not use this picture. I may use one of the same setting, but there are better frames. I will save the best for possible publication once I decide, or maybe guess, which one is best.

I love photo editing, but it can be frustrating. This one might have worked, had some of those in the picture not become so interested in Jim, the good black cat without whose diligent help this work would seem impossible.

As Chicago naps on my chest, Dick Cheney speaks about his heart

As Chicago naps on my chest, Dick Cheney speaks with Sanji Gupta about all the amazing medical advances in heart care that came along just in time to keep him alive to help George W. Bush make a whole bunch of decisions about war, torture and such.

No! You can't go!

I am trying to take advantage of the Alaska Airlines Permanent Fund Dividend Sale and book Margie and me tickets to Arizona, so we can return to White Mountain Apache country and visit family."No! Dammit!" Jim snarls. "No! You're not going to go off and leave me here alone again!" And there I thought he just wanted to help me book my tickets!

Update, 1053 PM: The email workaround with picture-only worked this time. Then I added the text in my computer.

The black cat and I remain here, a boy has joined us

It's one hour and nine minutes later. I am still on the reclining chair. The fire is still burning. Jim is still on my lap. Lynxton has joined us.•
