We went to the indoor shooting range today and did some target practice. Afterwards, I cleaned the revolver up and took a picture of the nice, clean cylinder. The reflections are from a fold-up canvas chair with a pattern made to look like a U.S. Flag.
This handsome hunter occasionally swoops through our yard in quest of small game. Today, we saw the bird land on the TV antenna briefly, only to swoop on to another yard. I managed to get this shot as it flew within a mere ten feet or so.
Being the nerd that I am, I try and visit Scott Adams’ Dilbert cartoon daily on the web. Today, I was surprised by the new website format featuring a color comic strip and other interactive features. Formerly, they only published a color strip on Sunday.
This is today’s screenshot from www.dilbert.com:
It’s been almost three years since we took a ride on the Alaskan Railway to Denali and then to Fairbanks. All along the way there are scenes like this one of the Talkeetna River as the dome car in which we rode passed northbound from Anchorage.
I was at the dentist this morning for cleaning and checkup. I arrived a little early so I sat in the parking lot for a while. A few minutes before my appointment time, a gentleman arrived in this very cherry Ford panel truck – painted bright yellow. I took a couple of photos of it including this pair of pictures merged into a 3D image. You will need red/blue or red/cyan glasses to see the 3D effect. Visit my 3D gallery for this and more.
Actually, I filed our tax returns electronically last week. Today is the day that the small amounts we owe to the Franchise Tax Board and the U.S. Treasury get debited from the checking account. This year, filing the taxes electronically automatically initiates the pending tax rebates which will automatically be credited to the checking account next month.
The tide goes out, the tide comes in – mostly out though.
