Taking A Women To Bed.

What is the difference between girls/woman aged: 8, 18, 28, 38, 48, 58.
68, and 78?

At 8 -- You take her to bed and tell her a story.

At 18 -- You tell her a story and take her to bed.

At 28 -- You don't need to tell her a story to take her to bed.

At 38 -- She tells you a story and takes you to bed.

At 48 -- She tells you a story to avoid going to bed.

At 58 -- You stay in bed to avoid her story.

At 68 -- If you take her to bed, that'll be a story!

At 78 -- What story??? What bed??? Who the hell are you???

April Snow Brings.......

The April weather in Alberta is suspect at best.  I usually don't get too bent outta shape until after the May Long weekend ( there is a 50-50 chance of snow for the official start of the summer festivities).   We've had two major storms each of the weekends that I haven't been working.

I tried going out durring the first one, and well, I parked my car in the ditch, and no photos to show for the adventure.

This weekend, the roads in the area where I would be eagle spotting, were closed.  The eagles, follow the bird migrations, and so the window of oportunity to catch them is small.  I was too late last year, only a couple of "look what I saw" pix, nothing that I would now deem as usable.  A few years ago maybe, but not now. 

If April showers bring May flowers, what do April blizaards bring?  I don't care about the cold, and the snow is great.  just not when the hiways have zero visiblity.  It looks like snow all week as well... maybe next weekend, and hopefully the eagles are still around, and I can find them....

They were around Calgary area, a couple weeks back, so I may already be too late for the spring migrations.... but there is always fall....

More Later....

So Long Creative Minds.....

Over the passed couple of weeks, we've have lost a couple of creative minds

• Dungeons and Dragons Creator -- Gary Gygax
• Author and Scientist -- Arthur C. Clarke

I derived many many hours of enjoyment, losing myself to the creations of these two minds.

Finally!!

I finally got my Canon 1D Mark III.  What a difference it makes over my 20D and 30D.  WOW! What a difference in performance.  I now have to decide should I do a 40D as my backup, or hold out for a second Mark III. I may have to contemplate a 5D or it's replacement as a full frame back up instead of the 40D, but that is a little ways out.

I also need to contemplate a couple of long primes 200f/2, 400f/2.8, 600f/4, 800f/5.6.  The 200 and 400 being my prime candidates.
