Devils tower

Took a run up towards Devil's tower a couple summers ago. Enjoyed watching people scale the side of that thing.

Shopping

Went for a shopping trip today, stopped in Best buy and looked at their apple ipod touch's. Debi got the grandkids some gifts. Not many folks at Best Buy today but the parking lot at Costco was packed.

Warm here today, got all the doors and windows open.

Sunday in the Park

Deb-Another beautiful day. The pics are of orange trees in the park and of our neighbors patio that they have fixed up outside of their motorhome. Several of the ladies were planting flowers today. After living in Wyoming, that is hard to accept. We can't even think about flowers until mid June. Went to Walmart and did some Christmas shopping for the grandkids. Now we just have to get it mailed.

Binocular camera

Didn't know they made such a thing till I saw a sale ad in Ace Hardware here locally. They cost $19.00 and are kind of neat. They are a regular 10x25 pair of binoculars (and the lenses are pretty good) + they hold 20 digital photos. You just aim at something a long way off and take a picture of it and download it to the computer. I've fooled around with it a little but haven't got it mastered. I'll post something one of these days if it works ok. I love gadgets....(Debi doesn't)

Thanksgiving dinner

The herd heads for the turkey tables. Was a really good feast. Thank God for Alka Seltzer

Horseshoe lake, Arizona style

As the Wyoming folks who follow this blog knows, Horseshoe lake is near Boulder Wyoming. This is the local horseshoe pitching area that was flooded by last night's rain. It was deeper than that this morning but the water sinks into the sandy soil rather quickly here. No fish in horseshoe lake here.

Movie clips

Had a couple of inquiries re: how to post a "clip". Most or all digital cameras have a setting where you can choose to run a moving "clip". Just choose that one and follow the instructions in the manual. Then download the clip just like you would a still picture and remember where you put it. Then when you begin to put in your blog for the day, just choose the icon next to where you choose still pictures (on the right of that icon). Then download the moving "clip" just like you would a still picture. Note....It's been my experience that you have to put the text in the box before you download the "clip". for some reason I couldn't add text after I downloaded the moving clip.

Also important, don't put long clips (keep them to 10-15 seconds) or it will take forever to load them up. Don't be impatient and "scrap" them. Go have a cup of coffee and a donut (hey, I'm a retired cop, I know donuts). Then.....it appears magically. My first clip was 30 seconds (the one of the fountain). On my verizon card it took about 15 minutes to load that sucker up.

Enjoy the movies....don't forget the popcorn.
