My pictures always come out blurry anyways, without a tripod or something a lens would be terrible.

Good catch. The 451 repeats in each pic.

Devin, I wondered why you knew so much about optics, but I see you are a
"wearer of too many figurative hats".

That, and you can see the f/11 label in the right picture, but no aperture label in the left picture, and that lens can be stopped down 3 more stops to f/4.

A good camera always helps. I'm getting bored with digital though, so I'm reverting to film; 135 SLR, darkroom, and all.

A type II phaser on the right setting can make a cut like that easily.

Well, that ******-bag dirty son-of-a-beach couldn't elude the rest of the guys armed to the teeth. He's nothing but a worthless bag of bones who isn't using any more of our air.

Score one for the good guys.

It's pretty easy to tell it's shopped. I wish it were real though, those are scary to drive. I was in one that couldn't go faster than 60 due to a cracked block and had a semi fly past me. Almost had to go home for some new work pants that day.

I'd buy a lotto ticket and take that flight with a smile. Just imagine how many people would NOT be there. All the aisle seats and bagged nuts you can eat! No crying babies, no noises. You could probably sit a flight attendant down and play a game of cards even. Explore the cockpit and maybe even fly the plane! Ok, that might be a bit far fetched but still!

Agreed. Back about 1980 I bought a Canon AE-1 Program and a ton of extras. More than $1,000 in 1980 money.

I miss her, and have considered taking her out of mothballs "just because I can". Maybe your comment will provide sufficient motivation.
