You still may want to try the Walgreens route. The times I've gotten prints made for family that are flip phone challenged and also computer less the order form says I qualify for (IIRC) free shipping (or where there is a line you can have a [brave] friend pick them up for you. Oh, and they often run specials 30-50% off on a regular basis. Hope this helps.

Oh the memories.. sometimes nightmares. I have mine "somewhere" in a box. I may have to break it out and show my granddaughter how things were done in the "olden days" (you know, labeling for prehistoric cave art, etc.)

I had to photograph a Duke researcher that had to be taken inside the Duke Chapel. The clients wanted him seated in the pews with the stained glass behind him. I tried to explain to them (beforehand) that the stained glass wasn't anywhere near the height of the pews, as you can see in the photo. It *was* during Lent so the got a portion of the Stations of the Cross instead. I did send a photo of the stained glass height when I sent my images. I got the (often used by these folks) "Oh, I see what you mean. We thought..." Fun times.

This is going to sound dumb, but do they permit you take photos inside now? I went in the early/mid 80's and IIRC there was a no interior photography rule. That being said I had my trusty AE-1 and I took one or two waist level images on the sly and then heard this voice from this nice gentleman from behind me informing me there was no photography allowed in The Biltmore House and there was a book available in the gift shop. He didn't make a big deal about it though and the wife insisted we buy the book. Side note, whatever image I took wasn't in the book, and (said) book is long gone. (My brother in law "borrowed" it probably 30 years ago... I'm *sure* I'll get it back)

Esse Quam Videre = No Cack. Our state motto, translated from Latin, is “To BE, rather than to SEEM.”

I translate “no cack” as “no BS.” I never did like “North Cackalacky.” But somehow, “SOUTH Cackalacky” was very fitting when I lived there in the ‘60s and ‘70s.


Well if you were there in the 70’s they may have *some* of the road construction that was started then done by now. Construction around Raleigh kinda reminds me of 2 kids in a sand box with Tonka trucks. (Move stuff around with no real thought until it’s time to go inside, then start again later.
I’m sure there is a plan, but..)
As to No Cack, I had a patient that was raised in SC and he used it extensively. I drag it out every once and a while in remembrance.

Copy the data to your computer. After buying and formatting and successfully testing a new card in your camera, do one of the following:

Duct tape it to your car tire and drive around the block. This won't fix the card, but will ensure no one else wastes time trying to fix it, either!

Soak it in a shallow bowl of chocolate milk placed in the sun. Then mix four ounces of Sangria with one ounce of Everclear. Drink the latter. That might make you feel better (or not!) about the card not working, as you clean up the mess.

Duct tape the card to the face of a sledge hammer. Break a brick with the combination while growling horribly. The card and the brick won't work again, but nearby kids will laugh or be terrified!

In the end, it is time to buy a new card and discard the old one. New cards are about half the cost of a roll of Ektachrome 100 slide film and processing, which yeilds probably 6 to 10 decent slides.

Sound advice from the Triad region of No Cack! I think I'll find me an old(ish) card and opt for fix #2. (I'd opt for #1 but, you know, the gas thing... and the fact there will be enough "ijits" on the road without some old far.. er, "classic" person driving around with a SD card taped to his "tar")

Very nice, but slightly cockeyed.


Cockeyed? Oh no, no, no, my friend. What you see is that elusive photo of the curvature of the earth. It mysteriously shows up in photos when it is least expected.


At least that's the li.. er, story what I tell folks.

I absotivley positlutly love it! I'm thinkung my daughters HOA would be going ape flakes over something like this. (Then again, they're all supposed to have the same mailbox post and the style chosen those many years ago has been discontinued. Now when your post is deemed needing replaced there isn't one to be found. Wonder if they could get a bulk discount on some of these? You know, lighten 'em up a little)

In my last job before I retired, my boss was a "chief" and I was listed as the "senior". I wonder if I could go back and sue because they used an age discriminatory term in my title? Kidding. (However, it could probably be the next "offensive, bad-bad" word they'll go after) I'm thinking the old rhyme we all grew up with should be re-written. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but some PC is BS.

Nice images. Saddens me seeing the reflecting pool has turned into a race track though.

Got the "pox" the last day of school in the 3rd grade. (What a way to start the summer, especially in a house with no a/c and only a fan in the living room window). I remember one neighbor bringing her son over to say (ahem) hello. I don't recall if he caught it or not. Flash forward 50mumble-mumble years I end up working with one of the researchers with the first shingles vaccine. He encouraged me to get the shot which I did. I did give him a bit of a hard time when they came up with newer/improved vaccine. He convinced me that he wasn't too involved with that process and not because he needed a new car. <BG>
