I thought it was 72. Only 70? Forget it!
Actually I read where some high muckity-muck promised jihadi fighters that if they martyred themselves during this Ramadan that they would get TEN times the number of virgins. Holy crap! That might be too much of a good thing! Which comedian was it who said: "72 virgins? How about just a few women who know what the heck they are doing!"Jul 3, 2016 09:03:27 #

Nicely done! The first one, in my opinion, is spectacular!

Hmmmm. Migration = dust. Lots and lots of dust. Whatever lenses you bring, don't plan on changing them during the day when out watching the migration. Or maybe bring a big garbage bag and change lenses by feel inside of the bag. Still risky. I would think for the migration you will want whichever lens gives you the widest possible range. You want to document "the big picture". But also some relatively close-up scenes.

I have the Canon 10-22. I really like it for landscapes, urban images, etc.

No - I used it out at the beach last week. I don't know if it uses the cell connection or not. If not, it really stores a lot of data.

It makes one physically ill to consider that in November, the choice will be between a moron with orange hair and a lying old hen. As said above, the old crone spouts drivel and her followers drool. Is this the best this nation can do? Evidently so. Good bye America, it's been good to know ya.
I agree - we have very poor choices. As I say - the lesser of two weasels. I saw a bumper sticker a few weeks ago that said: "They BOTH Suck 2016" Yep.

I am waiting for Trump to appoint/anoint the Newt as his VP! That will be rich! It might make sense, since Newt certainly knows how DC operates. But what a joke that will be! Six wives between them - and they certainly will have to stop bashing Bill Clinton! Remember, Newt was having an affair while he was trying to impeach Clinton for getting a ... And he had divorce papers served on his wife while she was getting chemo for her breast cancer! What a man! I think the ego between the two of them would reach critical mass and a huge disaster would result! THAT combination would keep 50% of Republicans home on e******n day no doubt - Trump, the f**e conservative and nouveau - Republican, and Newt, who most Republicans detest! What a combo! Maybe they can suggest Sara Palin as Secretary of State! Or secretary...

The anti-Obama r****ts just keep spewing the mantra about him being a liar. As any public figure where people hang on and analyze every word, he has said things that were wrong, intentionally or otherwise. But I think the Obama-h**ers are still trying to recover from the Bush "Mission Accomplished" big lie....

I am not sure what the point of a self-driving car is... some of the automatic features are nice, but I have enough trouble when my wife drives (as she does when I drive, I might add...) that I sure as heck would not turn everything over to a computer.
With that being said - the systems that prime the brakes and start to stop the car if you are too close and moving too fast could be a real life-saver, given how so many people on the freeway want to drive right up your a**. And I had a rental car a few months ago that could - in most cases - determine where the lane marker and edge of the road were at, and if you got too close it would beep. That could come in very handy for someone who was drowsy or distracted. It also did not beep if you had your turn signal on, so it might also encourage people to signal their lane-changing intentions!

Wow - great photos and very interesting! Quite a few years ago we went on the "wine train" in California. It features restored cars - lots of brass and mahogany. Really neat. Those were the days!
