glad to see you back and feeling less like death. congrats on the new studio space.

Hey!!! Hope you are safe down in Alabama... Watching the news now and seems like AL is getting a sucker punch from mother nature... And of course I'm sitting in Johnson City TN looking for houses, hoping this Red Roof Inn doesnt get hit! Stay safe bro!

and nice to see you again! never forget your inner child, it is the key to happiness and ignorance for what the world has told you how you should feel

I hate walmart

yeah, walmart is on "super team evil".

i have not been inside one in over 6 years. i won't venture into the den of corporate darkness.
during easter, i noticed the endless seas of walmart bags in trash cans (not recycling bins).

it then occurred to me that the holiday itself had been barbarized by corporate america.
last i heard, easter was about celebrating rebirth- be it christian or pagan, that's the idea of it.
but somehow we twisted the meaning into the "stuff sweets into cheap ass plastic eggs, and hide hundreds of them in an attempt to give kids sugar comas".

we used to decorate our own eggs (real eggs, even) and a single chocolate bunny was more than enough loot.
now kids are eating 6 pounds of candy in a sitting, and people wonder why we (as a country) have the worst health on the planet. thanks to walmart, people think it's ok to buy stupid crap - after all, it's cheap!

P.S. I've been to Anniston - and if I ever make my way that fanciful pathway again - let's meet up at some rural bar; haha.

P.P.S. If your tinnitus is bothersome (of course it is) - I would recommend doing some work inbetween your toes, particularly on your left foot - within reflexology the trigger points for eyes, nose, and brain are often focused on the tips of the toes and inbetween the toes (on each side of each toes) so

toe|* *|toe|* *|toe|

where the stars are located though slightly lower inbetween each set of toes are two trigger points - massage each of 'em, lightly kneading or using the flat service of your thumbs - and press (you may even feel knots) - indicating toxin built-up, i.e. sprouting pain elsewhere - ears, etc.

Yes, Yes and thank you.

Today I ventured off and bought wild rice (to soak overnight) along with some apple cider vinegar (which now I am using to soak cucumbers, carrots, garlic, collard greens with), only for a couple of hours and then layer up on fresh kale and maybe bananas!!

Mmmm (I am slowly and surely transitioning to raw). My body feels amazing when I do so successfully, and I truly feel . . . good.

true evil, yes! Our society seems to thrive $$$ from it.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions about Firewire400 vs USB 2.0 in the photographer's group.

It's been years but that's what I remember when Firewire first came out.

They're the Calumet "ProSpec" 305x UDMA cards. I've got an internal USB2.0 card reader for them.
Guess everything is as optimized as it can be for these cards.

Have you found your reader to be faster then the USB cable transfer on your 5D mkii?
I've been reading conflicting info, although I guess it's easy enough to figure out... transfer the images with the card reader. Then transfer them again directly from the camera, eh?

Or I could ask what your experiences have been with your Mkii

His nail split all the way down the middle to the tissue, no other option than to remove it
