Taken within the last three weeks, this was at Nancy's, sitting on the back porch. I just thought the sky looked majestic. The clouds in shades from white to black...the sun reflecting in them...the sky a rich blue...Hope you likey...(and you know clickie to biggie)

Did you happen to catch that every player in Major League Baseball wore the number 42 yesterday to honor the day that Jack Roosevelt "Jackie" Robinson played his first major league game in 1947, making his debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers against the Boston Braves at Ebbets Field.

Over the past few years, one player on the team got to wear 42. This year, everyone wears it. The #42 was retired by MLB a few years back and only players who were wearing the number at the time got to keep wearing it. I know Mariano Rivera, the Yankees closer, feels honored to be allowed to wear Jackie's number. Nice job MLB...you done good this time!

I am having some troubles with one of my Canon A-1s. Actually, I am having a problem with either one of the bodies or the lens on that body, so this weekend, I will mix up the lenses and see what transpires. I hope it is nothing major. The other body seems to be working just fine.

But I lost some shots I had taken recently. I have them, but they are extremely grainy and I am comfuzzled. But HECK-A-DOODLE!!!!!! I will figure it out.

I have been thinking about starting a fund for a new digital...I am having fantasies about the things I could do with the Canon SX1 IS a new model out recently.

C'mon, tell me this does not make you squirm in your chair...
