I love the heat. But I have heart problems if I’m in the humidity because the air is so heavy with moisture that I can’t breathe.

This is the only time of year I make it a point to stay indoors.

Just uploaded pictures from the new camera for the first time. Here is the very first in the series, a test shot of Mt. Shasta (reduced to 800x600). I had intended to compare it against a similar shot taken with the camera that quit, but I seem to have deleted that shot.

The cameras are proliferating around here! Here are what are (hopefully limited to be) my now three mainstay cameras:

The big one is the one that died (sob) -- Nikon D70 digital SLR with its zoom lens. The tiny one is the one I bought after a situation where I decided I didn't want to lug the big one (big mistake) -- Nikon S3 pocket, with absolutely wretched low-light performance but otherwise fine. The one on the right is the intermediate "turncoat" camera, Canon "S3 IS," that did the heavy lifting on this trip. All are 6 megapixel cameras.

(So what did I use to take these pictures? An old Mavica FD-7 -- and getting pictures off its floppy disk turned out to be a bit of a task as few of the machines here even have a floppy drive!)
