Parked in front of this shop to go to FedEx next door. If I change my line of work, maybe this is where I can get some, uh, outfits. The store is called "First Impression". I'll say...
"What to know before installing Windows." CLASSIC!
I had been getting an error after proceeding past this point, so I figured there may be something else I should "know before installing Windows." This certainly didn't tell me, but upping the ram from 256 to 300-something got it working.
My impression on Day Two of wearing the Wellco R.A.T. Temperate Weather Combat Boots. No complaints so far, seems like it is going to be a smooth break-in period. Great traction and support. I have a pair of Bates with the same Vibram® 139 Mr. Dri-Ice rubber outsole, so no surprise there. The sharkskin toe and heelcaps are great, if you're like me I'm constantly scuffing the toe on rocks and stuff.
A lot more support than my Altama 3LC Desert boots that I have destroyed in a year. The Altama seems a lot cooler, probably because the Wellcos have a full leather tongue and the instep drainage vents are lower and sort of blocked by the removable footbed.
The plan is to get the Altamas resoled and beat up the Wellcos and see how they last. I'm on my feet a lot and most boots and shoes die within nine months for me. So we'll see how these do.
Pun intended. Elizabeth is usually in Fl. for xmas, so it's become a tradition to have an early Xmas dinner with friends before she leaves.
Also, Giles, who was smart and pre-ordered the 35mm f/1.4G months before it was announced, managed to snag one and brought it by tonight. I shot a couple of photos with it attached to the D3, and while they're not that exciting, this one works.
The 35 f/1.4G is something that Nikon shooters have literally been waiting on for decades. The last model (AIS) was released in 1982 and is manual focus only. They are still manufactured and sell for around $1,200.
Was it worth the wait? Decide for yourself.
The good: Nikon finally has an 35mm f/1.4 that autofocuses. Yay. It's sharper at all apertures than any of it's ancestors and the nano coating does a great job at combating flair.
The bad: The autofocus is particularly slow on this model. Like 50mm 1.4G slow, which is a little worse than anticipated. The autofocus is also a little noisier than expected. The most unfortunate detail about the lens is that it's covered in plastic. Huh? At a price that's about 200 bucks higher than the $1600 most users anticipated, you'd expect metal.
Don't let that stop you from buying this lens as it's (almost) everything that it should be, but I don't feel that it exceeds expectations enough to justify either the 30 year wait or the $1,800 price tag.
Overall, it's a great lens that just happens to have had some poor decisions made during it's design that limits what it could have been.

From Road and Travel (http://www.roadandtravel.com/roadtests/firstimpressions/2007/jeep-wrangler.htm) -
There is no graceful way to climb up and into a Jeep Wrangler. The angles are awkward, the height is high and the interior is anything but plush and comfortable. This, I realized, as I hiked myself up and behind the vehicle’s steering wheel around five o'clock on a Friday afternoon, incidentally dressed in a rather restricting skirt.
My first thought: This is not my type of vehicle. Yes, I look for function and practicality in a vehicle – and the Wrangler Sahara embodies both of these traits; but what it lacked, in my opinion, was the necessary ease associated with handling daily errands and long weekend drives. Wrangler’s rugged capabilities weren’t priority on my checklist of car
must-haves.
And then, on my long weekend drive to Bay City, Michigan, rain began to patter against the Wrangler’s windshield as I was cruising the expressway at 70 mph. After a few minutes, it fell harder, then harder yet, until the wipers were whipping to and fro at max speed. The windshield, which moments earlier seemed irritatingly close to my face and extremely vertical, was now a godsend, offering a close and clear view of lane markers, despite inclement weather.
The height of the muscular truck, which had before seemed cumbersome and distinctly guy-oriented, was now an attribute that I was thankful for – perched high enough above neighboring drivers to see what lay before me on the expressway.
As I drove, I counted the redeeming qualities of the Red Rock painted Wrangler Sahara, nipping my initial perceptions of the vehicle in the bud, one by one.
It was maneuverable, offering the height and function of a truck, without the dragging weight of a bed in back. It was roomy, offering four doors, five seats and plenty of cargo space with a clean interior too - no nonsense gadgets or unnecessary frills. It was safe, offering multi-stage front air bags, optional seat-mounted side air bags, Brake Assist, Electronic Stability, Electronic Roll Mitigation, ABS and side-impact door beams.
And one characteristic that nobody can deny – the new Wrangler carries on the classic sport attitude traditionally associated with Jeep. In it, one can’t help allowing a bit of the fun-loving, off-road attitude of Wrangler to rub off on them - especially if it's warm enough to ride minus the Freedom Top (Jeep's 3-piece modular hard top).
I had conformed. I may not be heading off to the next Camp Jeep or slapping on a “If you can read this, flip me over” bumper sticker, but I had grown a soft spot for the Wrangler Sahara that made my would-have-been taunting drive one of ease.
Switching on the high beams and considering the stability of the slightly frozen farm ground surrounding us, I turned to my passenger, who raised an eyebrow to my mischievous grin.
“Interested in a little off-roading?” I asked.
Lots of firsts to think about in this unusually quiet moment for the girls before open stretch starts -- first meet of the season, first time competing at this particular gym, and first time in the new black competition leos.

If one has heavy balls like these anywhere in their yard, the cap and trade bill will be the kind of burden that moving these balls from one area of the yard to another before it is all over. So, get all excited and buffed up about this bill that will suck more of your money into projects that will disappear into the woodwork. If you like green jobs and think they will save the american economy each state has a highway department that employs weed cutters and maintenance. These are good green kind of jobs but go and find one. I mean, stand in line and wait for your number to come up. Want to work for the federal government? How long do you have to stand in line to get a cushy government job that usually begins around 60,000 grand. And here's what sucks............Chrysler workers, salesmen, mechanics, etc got the finger, more or less. Just think about how much concern was shown for this sector of the populace. You want to pay double what you are paying your electric company? Want to give the government the green light to rob you legally? Pass the cap and trade bill. Folks, keep track of your elected officials who vote for this and see if you want to reelect them when you find your bank account shrinking as one new money sucking green program after another is penned in the oval office with a wide smile. Yep, the middle class is..................... Is...........Getting it.

Wellco RAT boots after the Terryville Country Fair.
Here's my review of these boots: youtu.be/QahhtBizl34
Rainy morning outside the "International Supermarket", 80 High Road, South Tottenham, N15. A few doors from the junction with Wargrave Avenue.
Many businesses understand that they can attract or put off clients by first impressions as they approach a building. The Kerb Appeal of this business may not be enhanced by a pile of assorted rubbish on the pavement. Handily set down between a litter bin - with its gold "Better Haringey" motto - and a smart recycle bin which was stuffed full to overflowing.
Supposedly "our streets are now among the cleanest in London. Quotation from (then) Haringey Council Leader Claire Kober, one of the local Seven Sisters ward councillors.

Start of the hike from the jeep stop at Tatto village, and the first view of the mighty Nanga Parbat, breaking out of the clouds.
The sky was clearing up by now, and luckily so, night was approaching and the air was freezing after the rain. Couple that with a 4 hour hike that lay ahead of us.

...I lie back and laugh, and let the green-white water, the sun-flawed beryl water, flow over me. The day is almost too bright to bear, the green water covers me from the too bright day. I will lie here awhile and play with the water and the sun spots...
