South African Trip

So in case anyone is wondering why Amy and I are not traveling too much this summer it is b/c we are saving up time and money for our big South African trip in October. For two weeks we will be out on safari's, tasting wines and hanging out on the Cape Town beaches. The one piece of equipment we do need to get before going is an excellent camera with good zoom. I have visions on putting together slide shows for the plasma at home that will look like planet earth images, I am talking HD quality. Does anyone know if that is possible for a camera that is less than $500-1,000?

I want a picture like the one below while sitting safely in a truck 100' away.

Windy ride to work

I took this on the way to work the other day and while I am sitting on the runway here in Tampa waiting for the 2 hour ground stop to be lifted in Philadelphia I thought I would take the time to post it. It probably was not the smoothest ride to work for these guys but I am guessing they did not have many other options.

Boxing in old city

Not something you see every night, but there was a truck with live boxers and even a ring girl driving in old city (Lew you missed out man). I can not remember what the fight was that they were promoting b/c I was to busy trying to get a picture standing in the middle of 4th street.

Fireworks & the 4th

So the rain yesterday in Philly deyaled the fireworks. They had announced they were cancelled, but amazingly as soon as I was in bed they decided to shoot them off anyway. And being d blocks away I could hear them, but not see them. I hope the weather and fireworks were better where you were. The best part about this holiday is the day off in the middle of the week. You have to love that it is already Thursday.

Great Day for Baseball

Looks like the Phillies are going to pull out one game in the series with the Mets. And at sunny and 78 degrees it was a great day at the park. The chickie and pete's fries were good as always.
