A jolly Saturday!
Another bizarre yet productive day!
I came staggering out of the basement of my daughter Damaris's house about 9, wondering how I had managed to sleep so late with Mike waking me up every half hour starting pre-dawn to inquire as to when anyone ELSE wpuld be arising to entertain him....
I eventually got showered, dressed, etc, and headed off to my morning errand, checking to see if Best Buy had any digital cameras that were on my short list of desireable acquisitions, and also reasonably priced. That answer was yes, and I am now the happy owner of a Canon Power Shot A80. Since I am posting this from Damaris's computer, I have not yet managed to upload today's pics. But let me tell you this. I took a shot of a duck, and you can see its EYELASHES! That, my friends, is a detailed close-up.
I took the pic of the duck, of course, at Denver's historical National Western Stock Show, which my family group and I attended today with Richard M and his Sprout. We all saw and petted many farm and/or ranch type animals, and the young ones sat in the driver's seat of assorted snowplows, ditch diggers and forklifts, among many other Western ag type thrils.
We also had a surprisingly superb meal at an all-you-can-eat buffet on the premises which included Sweet Chile Chicken, fancy roasted turkey and lamb, an excellent BBQ'd brisket and a fabulous top sirloin roast. Probably the best restaurant meal I personally have had in months!
Came home, got the hyper excited kids to bed, and watched (finally, as I am always behind in these matters) Gangs of New York, which I thought was quite good.
Night-night!
