Not my finest day ever…

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

That might be the very last shot that my beloved Olympus takes. It took this picture of our salad bar…and…the shutter froze. Solid frozen shut shutter. Nothing will budge it. 

I was trying everything I could think of to get it going again. No luck. THEN I remembered – my SD card. I have some good shots on that card. Quickly pop that card out. Continue trying every thing – even giving it a good wack or two with my hand. 

Of course, I have to get a camera to use to finish The Last Great Photo Shoot. It’s not that big a problem. It is a problem that can be solved with money. And, at this stage in my life – that is the best kind of problem. 

And earlier in the day, I managed to get my web hosting account suspended. Too much storage used. Easy enough to fix with a little cash. 

But still… I don’t need this hassle.

Leo, Arlington, 2017

I was shooting Leo the Pet Therapy Dog with the camera crapped out. Shamu the Phone had to finish the job.

Shabbat is over. Time to get those nice Jewish Boys cracking on a replacement camera before they shut down for Rosh Hashanah.   

Went to a memorial service for my across the hall neighbor this afternoon. Carlton, you would have liked the reception. They had 5 gallons of vanilla ice cream – and chocolate sauce. Plus wine, cheese, fruit and fine hors d’oeuvre. But no coffee.

I suspect that memorial services here at the asylum are a wee bit competitive. BUT, how do you know how you did???
