Thanks, Bob. I'll take extra care at pig roasts! Yes, that's Nick. He had been running on the treadmill indoors, and had just quit & was strutting around the kitchen shirtless, foraging for food, as is his usual m.o. I dared him to run outside like that, and he took off... He ran up & down the block, eliciting hoots & honks from passing cars. Ah, to be 17... :)
And you're right about the snow total... but I wonder if my measuring technique was flawed... I looked for open spaces, not drifts. Maybe in those areas the lighter top layer of snow had blown into the drifts? Hard to say, many of the reported local totals were more like 22 inches, so who knows? The roads have been a mess, and no school again today. :) -c On Mon, Feb 11, 2013 at 10:58 AM, Bob Sullivan <[email protected]> wrote: > Christine, > I used to see the condensation problem with the PZ-1 and mechanical cameras. > After getting the mirror, back of the lens, and prism wet, I was more > careful.
