I was told some years ago that 10% was the cutoff. If your taxes were underpaid for the year by more than that amount you will incur a penalty. For the past few years my penalty has been about $6.00. That’s just a coffee at Starbucks. I can afford it.

One more thing needed:
Suck (air and fuel)
Squeeze (compression)
Pop (spark)
Phooey (exhaust)
You need a clear exhaust. Jam a potato into the tailpipe and you can't start your car.

It may start, but unless it breathes freely it will die

Nice job on the repairs. You missed one step in the engine analogy though. It’s fuel, air, compression and spark. No compression means engine, she no run.

Joining possibly thousands of others, no trip to Ayers Rock (or Uluru as its known by its original name) is complete without a photo taken of this monolith at sunset. No editing tools available to me right now (except cropping), so I can't (yet) remove the sign reflecting light. I'd like to process this a bit more, but this is for all those who just love looking at rocks.
We were at Uluru in March and experienced the wonder of it. I took photos from every angle I could and each one seems spectacular and special.
If you are in the market for one of the aboriginal paintings then go to the cultural center. They have at times one of the artists that you can talk to about their art. Plus they have a huge selection of art pieces for sale at really great prices.
Last but not least, aren’t you just lovin’ the flies!

Janet and I watched this movie last night. From the moment we started watching we couldn't turn it off. Riveting and at times heart-breaking. If you love a good story told well, you'll enjoy this movie, especially since it's told from a dogs eye view with Kevin Costner being the voice of the dog. The dog used in the movie, too, a golden retriever, deserves some kind of Canine Oscar. Race car aficionados will enjoy the race car scenes.
My Lady and I watched it together for the first time during a hurricane in the Southern Ocean off the coast of S Georgia Island. What a wonderful movie!

VZ does offer international service at $10/day. Just having your phone on without use, triggers the automatic daily charge. eSims are lot cheaper, but I am unclear about their limitations as per my original questions.
If your iPhone is in Airplane mode with the WiFi and Bluetooth turned on you will not be charged on the international plan during that time. When I have Airplane mode turned on and my settings enabled for WiFi calling I’m able to make calls and send/receive text with most any hotel’s WiFi connection. I travel internationally often and that’s what my Lady and I do to keep our bills manageable.
Editing note:
If you use the App called WhatsApp you can also use the phone or send and receive texts when on airplane mode and connected to WiFi with anyone else who is using WhatsApp too.

Yes, the tilling in this shot looks like they have mowed and are now turning under the detritus of what appears in photo 3 to be alfalfa? This adds nutrients to the soil and helps in aeration for the hops. I worked for a farmer in corn country who would turn under the entire crop of alfalfa from a fallow field to help get better crops in the next season. This was after he hit the field with a manure spreader.

Feedback welcomed!
See titles for details. These are hops fields, with a few orchards in some backgrounds.
Many thanks.

I really love #2. The framing is spot on and having the tractor doing it’s thing tilling the rows brings a great deal of interest to the table. Even the background with what appears to be tiered rows on the hillside. Topping it off, beyond the tiers we see fields and more orchard. Great capture Linda!
👍

I posted one of my pics from the Total Eclipse question. (about 20 miles north of Waco TX)
Here's the question -- when viewing totality through my eyes, the moon/sun appears black (as in the pic). The Sky, however was a Dark Blue (not black).
All of my shots, however were black on black (as above) -- is this an optical illusion or a limitation on the dynamic range of my sensor?

I think it’s a matter of how our vision perceives light and how the sensor does. But as my Lady says, I’m probably wrong.
