I have felt that Snopes.com has a liberal bias but then you use Wikipedia as a source to back-up your argument. Wikipedia information isn't any more reliable than snopes. To paraphrase the last sentence of your post: "Seems like Wikipedia isn't all its cracked up to be."

A few years ago I traveled through NM going west on I-40. I had to go against a wind that must have been a constant 50 MPH across the whole state. I was driving a full-size Ford van pulling a trailer that was empty. Worse gas mileage I ever got in that vehicle. I didn't find much enchanting about NM.

Sounds like you are saying skill is just propaganda and has nothing to do with photography. It's all the camera. I think some people will disagree with that. It's nice to have a modern, up-to-date camera but there is more to it than that.

Actually, it is the camera, and don't you forget it. If we buy into that "photographer's skill" propaganda, we'll be stuck with the soon-to-be-outdated hardware we have now. "Update, now and forever!"

When I was a kid in the '50s growing up in Sacramento, CA, I could go a quarter-mile from my house and stand on a bluff, look south towards the American River and see acres and acres of hop fields. When you stand at that same spot today all you see is the roofs of acres and acres of houses.

I have to agree. Once a person buys his or her way into office as a Senator or Congressman it's almost impossible to get them out no matter how bad of a job they are doing.

I don't worry so much about which one of them get in because until we clean out congress neither one will be able to do anything. On the other hand maybe that's a good thing.

Here's a few from 1961 scanned from slides. The nice thing about digital cameras is that you take the photo, view it on the screen and adjust as needed. In the old days you take the picture and hope for the best.

I, also, heard it was farming. Not politician or that other thing.

I haven't seen the ads, but advertising became unreliable at about the same time politicians started talking and may be the true 'world's oldest profession'

My primary browser is Firefox but I also use Google Chrome and Internet Explorer on occasions. I maintain a list of passwords and user IDs on my computer to use when I go to a website that requires them, i.e., email, Amazon, Ebay, etc. I will copy and paste the password into the appropriate spot on the website. This works well in Firefox and I.E. but for some reason it doesn't work for Chrome. I have to physically type the info. Since I have a couple dozen passwords that are at least 12 characters in length it is inconvenient to type all those characters every time. And since I am paranoid I don't have the browser store passwords for me. I'm also paranoid about Keyloggers and don't like typing the passwords. Does anyone know what's up with Google? Is this some kind of safety feature or what? I have posted this inquiry in a Chrome forum about a week ago but so far haven't received a response so I thought I'd throw it out here in case one of you UHHers might have an answer. Thanks for your help.
