Thanks, Linda!
In my teens, I went to various events with my camera and photographed what interested me. Fourth of July events in SC were guaranteed to bring out an interesting amalgam of humanity. Rock concerts in the park brought out an entirely different, less homogenous blend of people. I'm just starting to digitize all my negatives from 1971-72. I know there are some fun scenes there.

You will enjoy that trip, perhaps as much as you enjoyed the first time through. Great set. I am looking forward to future posts.

What? Nobody has listed "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" as a classic.

As a high draft number kind of a guy -- I thank you all for your service. Thank you. Very, very interesting reading. Thanks to all that posted. What a wide variety of history of people that are interested in photography now.
I was drafted before there was a number. The numbers were started the year I was released. Mine came up number 366 in the first draw.

Like them all, but agree with Mike if I have to choose.

[quote=BebuLamar]I said it seems so which other countries make Li-Ion batteries nowaday?[/quote
US, Germany, Italy, France, Taiwan, and others. China has a 60% share. I think the countries of the world are waking up and not wanting to rely on single-sourcing something considered important for the near future.

US Army, MOS 74E20, 10/10/66-11/1/68,E5 Early out because Ft. Bragg where I was stationed was being overrun with returnees from Vietnam. They needed the space and I had 1 more semester to finish my degree. Food was much better anywhere that wasn't a Basic Training mess hall.
Pardon typo, I was not only a bad typist, I had a distraction that required attention.That discharge date was 9/1/68, not 11/1. I was told that I was the first married man in Wichita to be drafted for Vietnam. They really wanted me because they declined the Occupational Deferment requested by Boeing. I spent my time after basic at the Continental Army Command's Intelligence Production Office at Ft. Bragg, where they were preparing to automate the paper intelligence reports. Made Spec 5 in 11 months, probably because I was the only one there who had ever seen a computer. I am pretty sure that the 4 members of the consulting firm specified by the DIA to help us had never written a serious program.
Basic was at Ft. Lost in the Woods, know as Ft. Leonard Wood to civilians. The reference to the food is because FLW hosted the training of the Army's cooks. Basic mess halls were manned by the greenest trainees.

The application needs to be ported to the native architecture to run without using an emulator. They probably run a bit slower when emulated instead of native.

Not me. What I hate is that, despite the fact that my default search engine is Google, windows will use bing anyway... I keep hearing about lawsuits against Apple for their dodgy tactics, so why does Micro$oft get away with it?
It isn't Windows using Bing as your default, it is your browser. Firefox has Google as its default, but you can change that. The browsers frequently ask if you want to change your default if it is not the one you are using. On Firefox, you can change search engines by Tools>settings>search The top item on the page is Default Search Engine.

My camera has been in the shop at Nikon for almost 10 days....I sure do miss it! I sent the TC in first to get checked out since I could not get good focus with it. So they requested to have me send in the lens and the camera I was using it with. I had to send the Nikor 200-500 and my Nikon D500 in, at least they will get them all calibrated and cleaned up for me!
But I feel naked without them!

Hope you get it back better than new.
Does your hubby like it when you run around that way?

Like you, I also love shooting into the sun for silhouettes. I love your photo! The water, leafless tree branches, and chaotic jumble of birds is a super eye-catching delight.
