Ah, and one last thing. I loaned my Sony Mirrorless camera to Elyse after she came out here in early June. She’s never been into photography (or so she told me), until we went to downtown MPLS together, and she shot a few pictures (300 of them, to be “exact”). So, she’s had the camera […]
The Blog
Recommendations: shows, food, movies, etc
Today’s miscellaneous Recommendations: Chilies restaurant: margarita chicken tex mex bowl, combined with their white queso appetizer and salsa on top is just DELISH! Yum. Locally, here in “beautiful downtown” Apple Valley, a “smash burgers” opened up a yr or so ago. I’ve eaten there a couple of times (but not recently), but they’re pretty good. […]
Police brutality – Sandra Bland.
Sandra Bland. My two cents. I’ve not paid ANY attention to this story – until I saw this morning that the police have released the ‘traffic stop/arrest’ video. Having just watched the entire ten minute video, I am disturbed by what I saw and heard. While she may have been disrespectful with her cigarette (which […]

I sometimes think I was born in the wrong era. I think I should’ve been born ten – fifteen years earlier, what, with my strong appreciation for big band music, as well as not being able to fully appreciate (when I was growing up) the talents of Frank, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett as well […]

Various thoughts about cameras, photography
I have four “cameras” (my trusty Canon DSLR, the “newer” Sony Mirrorless, a Sony P&S (that fits in my pants pocket) and, of course, like everyone else, my cell phone). All of them have the now (pretty much) standard LCD screen that you can’t see a frigging thing on when you are outdoors in bright […]
Lailah news – picnicking & playing together
Had the opportunity to “picnic” and play outdoors with the most beautiful granddaughter Lailah this afternoon for a couple of hours. We were at a different park this time, still close by, but with a different set of “climbing” things for her to climb – some things she climbs without hesitation – while with others, […]
Behind in my posts!
Well, I’m kinda behind with my posts – it was a busy weekend and start of the week for me. I just posted pictures of the “Thrust” stage at the Guthrie – and was admonished by the volunteer usher that “ALL” photography was “Verboten!” (even when the musical hadn’t yet started). I guess they don’t […]
