Sony Alpha A230

Sony Alpha a230 DSLR

I bought this Sony DSLR to replace the Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D DSLR that I wore out. It had pretty much the same features, so it seemed like a perfect replacement.

This butterfly was at the Butterfly House in St. Louis, Missouri, so I'm fairly certain it's not a native of the United States.

Emergency!

I don't know what happened last night here in Opdyke, but at 9.42 p.m. three ambulances drove real slowly past my house here on 7th Street and stopped down one block. They were followed by a Sheriff's car and eventually, each ambulance pulled away slowly with one body each inside them. I've never seen ambulances in such a non-hurry before.

This all-plastic 1:64 scale piece seems to be based on a World War II Dodge WC 54 4x4 truck. I've seen them used as ambulances, too.

Forest Fire

Forest Fire

28 Feb 2014 1 203
As I was on my way to Marion yesterday, as I neared Muddy, I looked over and thought the Shawnee National Forest was on fire! So, today I did a little research to see if they were indeed having a forest fire and it turned out they weren't. It was just a controlled burn by the U. S. Forest Service in the Cave Hill area of the forest. I could smell the smoke all the way to Harrisburg.
