Wondering what to do about it. It's not like I can just go in and tighten them up.

X-ray images of a left foot: the left image looks at the top; the right, from the side. There's a plate and several screws where a joint once was.

I have hardware in my left foot after reconstructive surgery. For about a week, it feels like some of the screws that hold it together, where arthritic joins used to be, are coming loose.

Just waiting for my foot to fall off.

G'morning, folks. How are you now?

It looks like we're in for a dose of rain today. With snow-covered, frozen ground, that could mean possible flooding in some areas. Be careful if you're out there.

Have a great day and be awesome!

It might be helpful. But it's a fair-weather drone, so if it's too windy, I wouldn't want to put it up too high.

I am now almost certain that I'm dealing with a scammer. He plays a good game, though.

I've been chatting with someone online who wants to buy all of my camera gear but with all the scammers I've had lately, I can't help but be suspicious. So far, the only thing that raises a flag is that the person didn't haggle far from my asking price.

What an age we live in where trust is gone. πŸ˜ͺ

I hope your day was awesome. I had a perfectly low-key day that ended with karaoke. Another birthday done and dusted.

G'night, folks. Sleep well.

A beautiful woman with shoulder-length hair wears a large pearl necklace and a white blouse that is unbuttoned and hanging off her right shoulder. She is wearing nothing else. She stands before a white background and is slightly turned to the left of the image.

Looking along the edge of a cliff toward the small town of PercΓ©, on the GaspΓ© Peninsula, on the Gulf of St. Lawrence. A white house with a red roof is at a high cliff's edge, as are smaller buildings. A long pier harbours a sailboat. Flowers dot the edge of the cliff in the foreground.

This photo was shot in 1990 with a Minolta X-700 and slide film.

Bye-Bye D7200 I've done it. I've listed my beloved Nikon D7200 camera, the one that gave me my all-time best photo. D7200, 70mm, f/2.8, 1/125 sec., ISO ...

Was rad to have Bill Welychka on my podcast. Yes. I have a podcast. It’s called Graventown! Get it wherever you do your podwork. We had a warm open hearted chat about the future of live tv and some fuzzy muchmusic memories. We quoted @torontomike.com a few times πŸ’œ πŸ”— open.spotify.com/episode/3SJ3...

Doh! I sent the video to my friends before posting it on YouTube, plus DW watched it with me, and nobody caught that. I looked at my script and I had written PFD, but all my years in documentation must have trained my brain to say PDF.

PDF: personal device for floatation. πŸ˜†

Cars and street lights are obscured at night through a rain-soaked sheet of glass from a bus shelter. Because the camera is focused on the glass, all lights are blurred, creating a bokeh effect of various colours.
