I will take this if it is still available.

Jerry, they may be doing you a favor by not letting you review their products. If you read their terms of service, to which you are held to have consented, you would find this in their rules re: posting of reviews:

"You represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to the content that you post; that the content is accurate; that use of the content you supply does not violate this policy and will not cause injury to any person or entity; and that you will indemnify Amazon for all claims resulting from content you supply. Amazon has the right but not the obligation to monitor and edit or remove any activity or content. Amazon takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any content posted by you or any third party."

To understand what you are agreeing to, look up the full definition of "indemnify".
Amazon is very sloppy about what your review gets applied to. I stopped posting after reading the terms, and after I posted a review of a self described Illustrated copy of A Christas Carol which I discovered after receiving it, had no illustrations. I wrote a review pointing that out.

Some months later, a different "Illustrated" A Christmas Carol was advertised. I checked to confirm the illustrations, which it had and which were well done. But in reviewing the reviews, so to speak, there was my review of the other book, posted for this book. As such, my review, when applied to the second book, was a total lie. I emailed Amazon complaining of it, but never heard back, and the review was not removed.
I have never again posted a review on Amazon.

I have also found that the indemnification provision is a part of many businesses' terms and conditions. Let the reviewer beware!

'Nuff said.

Jerry,

We listen to The Sunday Puzzle on NPR on Sunday mornings. A week or two ago, one of the answers included the word "dungarees". I had to explain to my 36 year old son and his wife what "dungarees" were. They had never heard the term. Sigh . . . .

An excellent "moment in time" photo. I ended up studying it for much longer than I initially thought I would. It is a quiet photo, but brimming with information about the place and the people.

Thanks for sharing.

Gaa gaa!

Amazing shot. Muchly impressed with the great detail and framing of the photo. You could base a novel on all that is in that photo.

Thanks for sharing.

We were at a concert featuring James Galway with the Spokane, WA symphony. It was a marvelous evening until Galway suddenly stopped in the middle of the performance, glared off to the right side of the audience, and demanded, "Would you please stop doing that! It is extremely distracting." The focus assist beam was shining in his face, the natural aim of the photographer. Needless to say, the photographer humbly apologized and stopped.
What was most amazing was that Galway then put flute to mouth and he and the entire orchestra resumed exactly where they had left off.

The artist blends symbols into the daily cartoons. A stick of dynamite with a burning fuse, a pipe (tobacco type), an eyeball, a crown, an upside down bird, O2, K2, etc. If you go way back, he explains the significance of them. Beside his signiture is a number telling the number of items placed into that day's strip. It has nothing to do with the daily cartoon, but just adds another dimension to the enjoyment of the strip. In this one, we find the crown, the eyeball, the dynamite, the O2, and the K2.

You get very nice results with that combination of the Nikon 18-200mm lens and your eye. Given the similarity to what I use, I consider your results to be inspiring!

Thanks for sharing.

I find that it is very easy to see the stereo image using parallel viewing if you get it just the right distance and relax your eyes. There is not a lot of room to vary from just the right distance. Very nice stereo image actually. Would enjoy seeing more of your work.

A most impressive composition and photo. Finding the scene must have been a heck of a task in itself.

David

As perfect a shot as can be.

Very good done, as an old chief used to say.

The character following the 1862 date is the character for "Year". What you have to find out is whether or not the year stated corresponds to the U.S. year or whether it is a different system. But it does clearly claim a date of 1862.

I still miss the logic of CP/M. And I still have my favorite NEC CP/M laptop and portable aux drives. But it is for nostalgia. The down side: you could fix dinner, eat it, and do the dishes while Wordstar corrected a spelling error in the middle of a three page document.

We use the weather channel forecasts. Ironically, their name also stands for "no idea what's ahead."
