post war grocery shopping

Friday evening, inclement weather including freezing rain and snow was predicted. In Atlanta, weather predictions with the word snow cause the general populace to immediately head for the nearest grocery store and buy as much bread and milk as they can afford. For the last five years, I was extremely confused by this. […]

gouge away

Saturday afternoon, I was walking through a cold gray drizzle reminiscent of the good old days in Buffalo. Unfortunately, the Buffalo like effect was spoiled by the lack of a cold biting wind whipping past. A black SUV pulled up next to me and recurring Propeller Skies character The Quiet One asked […]

Saturday evening, The Beaver* and I dropped by Cafe Intermezzo for a drink. Because it was reasonably early, we were able to score seats at the bar. Intermezzo has an enormous selection of espresso drinks, cocktails, misnamed Martinis**, wine, and beer. After perusing this list for about half an hour, I […]

After loading all my receipts from the past ten years into Quicken®* and clicking the magic button to anal retentively analyze my spending, the program returned a pie chart.

the best camera ever

About eight months ago, I finally joined the space age and bought a digital camera. Astute readers will note that coincidentally, this is roughly the same time that the Nikon D70 hit store shelves in the United States. Approximately one month and a couple of thousand shots later, the D70 broke. […]

old school

A big Propeller Skies shout out goes out to recurring Propeller Skies character Ted for unloading a Fujica STX-1 on me. For recurring readers not into old photography equipment, this is a fully manual SLR from the early 1980s, manufactured by the Fuji Photo Film Company. They were solid cameras that were eventually […]
