Ah, the joys of the 59 Ford Galaxie! I had one. Big iron for sure. Great pics Mike. I also left Fairbanks 4 months before you got there, and I saw the Garden of License Plates 12 years ago and it is hugely bigger now. Thousands more plates!

Or you could take the ferry from Washington to AK drive around in your own car and take the hiway back. A superb trip that way.

Was a poor men's player, but then switched teams and was top ranked.

Awww c'mon Marty, what do you want to do tonight? I dunno, what do you want to do?

Oh, if old buildings could tell stories, what stories they could tell!

OK Marty, where is the Hastings Road, or Green River? I see neither in this wonderful "but" road. Er, "Butte" road.

The family separation was actually as a result of a court order. When in illegal is apprehended with children, and the parent is deported due to criminal activity, the child is not deported as they are not the criminal. So, a separation has then occurred and there is no clear path to releasing the child. You should quit listening to the radical left for your news and read the legal opinions and court orders. You certainly would be better informed.

You should read the Flores agreement. It does not address the un-accompanied children that are in detention. What would you do with them? Just throw them out on the street? And, BTW, the Flores agreement was in Clintons time, not Obama.

For all those that just accept things, and not do the research: Obama committed to sending the Paris accord 3 billion dollars. Of that 1 bn was contributed, so Trump was saying, in effect, we can cut emissions without sending you guys 2 billion dollars. It comes out of every citizens pocket, one way or the other, so don't be too glad that we are rejoining it.

Look at the effect of new policies. Stop fracking, stop mining coal, stop Keystone pipeline. Go back to the Arabs for oil and let them dominate our energy policy. Of course, we could just give Soligen another 500 million and let them steal it and go bankrupt. Or did we forget that?

The pens used to house children were actually built by Obama. He was not the first to separate families, and probably will not be the last.

I agree. I was trying to chimp with my d700 some years ago and thought that it was not taking the picture. For now, the Sony a7III has a viewfinder as well as the back viewscreen. There is no lag from button press to picture capture, unlike many lower grade cameras.

I have been doing this for a while only use my 35mm on the pole and trigger it with my cell phone tethered. That way I can look at the shot before I take it.

I have one and it fits well into a coat pocket. It is not optimum in low light, but in all other instances it is superb.
