I have very poor typing skills. When I read what I typed for the first time, for some reason, I see what I am expecting to see; never my typos. Then I post it and only then do I see my errors. It is often very embarrassing. If I trust spell check, many words are correctly spelled but not at all the word I intended to use. I need word processing software that reads my mind.

I would think that journalists would prefer zoom lenses because of the unpredictability of the situations they cover.

The entire population of Earth could live in and be sustained in the United States if the resources were used properly. Overpopulation isn't even close to being a problem. Equitable distribution of resources, given the nature of humans, is nearly impossible. We have huge population groups that are forced to live in almost uninhabitable locations because of politics, greed, religious differences, but mostly because of economics.

We have hugely overpopulated urban areas and sparsely populated countryside's in nearly every nation. We have political leaders that treat citizens like slaves on places like North Korea and keep people subdued and deprived of resources so powerful rulers can enjoy their elite status.

We have a world that is troubled by pointless hatred for no legitimate reason. The secret of prosperous countries is that they encourage people to innovate and reward them for doing-so. They celebrate success and accomplishments and support the needs of those who are disabled or unfortunate.

We have witnessed several nations rise-up concurrently with granting their citizens the opportunities to make the most of their lives. Most nations that keep their people in subjugation have either made no progress or have regressed.

We have 65 watt floodlight fixtures in our kitchen ceiling. We replaced them with 11-watt LED floods. The LED bulbs haven't lasted any longer than incandescent bulbs and, after a while they dim greatly in brightness. When new, they produce the same lumens of light as incandescent while using 20% of the energy, but they are expensive to buy, they dim with age and don't seem to last any longer. All the energy bill savings are consumed by the negative aspects of LED's.

Someone made a mistake and produced a good one.

I might, when I know more about its features and price. It's premature to make that decision based on what we know now. The R5 version II might end-up being a better choice for most photographers.

I have the R5 as well as the R7. It took a while but my 79 year-old mind has adapted to switching modes when I pick them up. I bought a Canon R and absolutely hated it. I took a huge loss in selling it. The money was used towards the purchase of my R-5, which I love.

When I bought the R7 I accumulated a few APS-C lenses and also use my RF lenses. Now that I am used to it, I like it. The R7 pixel pitch allows for very high resolution wildlife and youth sports photos where cropping is common.

I missed Buddy Holley and Freddy the Freeloader

In the 1960's we could buy a 21-inch color TV for $350 to $400 US dollars that only connected to an antenna and frequently could only show a picture with a green tint. Now, you can buy a 50-inch cable-ready TV with a 4K picture that shows amazing color in the same price range. Technology is amazing.

I think Technology is giving photographers more freedom to capture great images. In the "old days" when you had to guess at exposure, or take the time to use a light meter, we either risked a poor exposure, or losing time and opportunities.

Modern cameras that can be set to focus on the eyes, control exposure in many different ways, and quickly be set to read exposure based on a large, medium, small or spot area give photographers a lot of liberty to focus on achieving a great photo. Add-in the fact that modern cameras can employ focus and exposure bracketing, stay focused on a moving object and to many advanced features to list here, gives the photographer every advantage.

Lens and camera stabilization and high-resolution sensors add even more to the equation. Then, add the large capacity memory cards to the mix. We are really spoiled by technology. I would now like to see a camera that responds to the operator's voice commands.

It might be wise to invest in a polarizing filter. There will be a lot of sparkle in the water.

I frequently take photos of groups of my grandchildren playing and being silly with my 45mp Canon R5. Often, I see a pose on one or more that is great. I enjoy being able to crop-in to that part of the image to print it or share it. It might just be 5 mp or 3 mp when cropped. Knowing it will be detailed is worth paying for the extra megapixels.

Bird and nature photography is another category where lots of pixels gives me an advantage.

Recently, I have been getting authentic looking warnings such as "YOUR SIRIUS/XM PAYMENT HAS BEEN REJECTED aAND YOUR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN SUSPENDED." "CALL XXX-XXX-XXXX IMMEDIATELY FOR RESUMPTION OF SERVICE AND HAVE PAYMENT INFORMATION AVAILABLE."

I have logged into my Sirius/XM account and everything is fine. I turned on my car radios, and listened online and everything works.

Sometimes I am using the internet and a screen-hogging popup warning informs me that my computer is infected with a virus. It warns me to not shut down my computer and to call a "Microsoft" technical help phone number to resolve the issue. I always use task manager to shut down my browser software, reboot the computer and everything is fine. I usually pause for a moment and think "What if the warning is real this time?" So-far the threat has never been real.

The average clinic lacks the diagnostic equipment and specialists to deal with accident injuries. You may need X-rays, cat scans, MRI's to properly look into your body.

Go to an emergency room that is located in a hospital and get checked-out. You can't afford to take chances with your well-being.

The trucking company's liability insurance will pay for everything. Get a reputible personal injury lawyer.

Our house was built in 2008. The original built-in Whirlpool combination electric oven/microwave is still working except that the light bulb in the microwave is burned out. I know the combo unit is expensive because I have considered replacing it and didn't.

I guess you get what you pay for. There must be some countertop brand that will last that long. Keep researching.
