Good to know that you've found a work-around.  Do I think it's a coincidence 
that deliveries are good to two lawyer offices?  I think it's more likely that 
the drivers are just lazy, not lazy and stupid.

That's really weird, and yes that's a processing artifact that I didn't

The camera worked just fine with the small dedicated flash that came with my

It turns out there is a useless menu item to turn the PC socket on or off, with

As the camera comes, nothing works, find this obscure setting and everything

Of course I didn't discover this until after the session.

My fall back position today was the K1 and D FA* 85/1.4, so it's not like as if

Anyway, this is a simple 3 light set-up with the lens set to f/2.8.

Is the frame for his glasses as warped as it looks in the photo?  Or is there a

Re: Two PESOs: GM Diesels with sound

I actually have played both kinds :-)   and a Dictaphone, too.

I played a soprano and alto recorder back in the early 60's .. by ear..
never read music

I took it up again when I got ashley  - she seemed to like it

Over here, a recorder is either a tape or cassette recorder and your
instrument is a 'Blockfloete', literally a block flute.

Re: PESO: Table Lamp. No Pentax Content

[Daniel J. Matyola]

I have always had good service from UPS.  I surmise the quality of their
service varies from one area to another, and depends on the local
management and drivers.  I knew the two drivers whose routes included my
off9ce, and we called each other by our respective first names.  They were
loyal employees and eager to please their local customers.  I don't have
the same relationship with the drivers who serve my home neighborhood, but
their service has been dependable and on-time.  In bad weather they leave
the packages on my front stop under the roof, rather that at the garage
door, and ring the bell to let us know something is there.

It seems of late Amazon is doing a lot of Sunday deliveries (I am expecting
a package this afternoon).  They seem to be using USPS trucks and drivers
for that;  I assume because USPS normally does not deliver on Sundays.

USP seems to have gotten their shit together fairly well over the past

rain in Feb. (a record) so the bush is very dense which gives them
