Lensbaby® at Chicago's Navy Pier

It's a little known fact that the US Navy left behind their Top Secret Military Grade Ferris Wheel and Classfied Inertial Swing System to be converted to civilian use after The War of 1812. I read this in Wikipedia. Until it was found and they erased my edit. THE TRUTH WILL OUT!

Why I Shall Never Own an iPhone

Not because I want to avoid the blind Mac cult...

But because my wife, USCellular, will never sell it.

I love USCellular. Motorola, not so much. But USCellular, yes. You can have your AT&Ts and your Verizons, and your iPhones, but when USCellular says at my next renewal that I get a tin can and some string. I'm STILL in!

Dogs I Have Met®: Chicago

See all in the shadow! Sticking the Sigma 10-20 RIGHT on the snout. I use a dog food scented filter. Or maybe it smells like dog crotch. I dunno.

People LOVE the TtV.

By people, I mean you, you TtV lovers!

I Can't Say I Wasn't Warned.

I'm less and less sure I should eat this as I try different pronunciations.

I Don't Know Dance

Elizabeth and David at The American Folk Festival

I don't know music.
I don't know art.
I don't know photography*.
But I know what I like.

* If I did I'd have used the Sigma 10-20. Life is full of regrets.
