Heat death of the universe

Zero  this morning.  That, of course, represents degrees F, rather than K.

We need fresh snow.  The weather twit promised us a few inches earlier this week, but nought to show for it.  Ski trails are ice.

Did a walk-through of the latest downtown pigeon loft site on Tuesday, furnace was out.  When the roof leaks create a skating rink on the fifth floor, you know you have a problem.

Cold.

Persistence of memory

Okay, sometime last summer I set the digital camera to "closeup" mode for this really handsome Aminita muscaria in the woods.  Today I go to print out exterior photos of the latest pigeon loft, and discover that the photos look fuzzy.  Checked the settings.  Still on "closeup."

I'm used to film cameras.  Neither of my Nikons have a closeup switch on them -- you swap lenses and maybe go to extension tubes.  And with an SLR, you notice if the image stays blurry on you.

Well, I needed to go back there anyway.
