Had a wildfire not too far from here today. Fire Air Tankers "Superscoopers" on loan from Canada helped save the day! No people were hurt and no houses burned.... The scoop water from the Sweetwater Resavoir near us.
Well, it's that time of year again! I took the week off, so I could see most of the best films and documentaries. This year for the first time, there will be screenings at UCR (University of California at Riverside) Home of Daynah! :)
First night was awesome! Featuring Ping Pong Playa - an Asian-American comedy by Jessica Yu, staring Jimmy Tsai, Roger Fan and Smith Cho... I have pictures on my Flickr featured below.

^Extra Season Events
Well, John and I survived the County Fair, even if we had a flat tire on the way back! It was a great San Diego day, warm, but with balmy breezes! We went early and left about 1:30pm, mission accomplished. So many little kiddies there with their school classes. The most fun thing we saw was the "Turkey Races" - Yes, real turkeys!! I made a bunch of shots for a school teacher there and gave her my email to send them along. Dat's why so many on my Flickr! ^^
Sports theme. "Wearing" a San Diego Chargers outfit...
Yup. Sports was the theme this year.
Turtle fans? I know we got turtle fans here! ^^
Get your "Asian" goodies here! Tikkis for MB... ^^ Even Buddhas on sale! Many SOCAL peeps view Buddhism more as a philosophy and as a way of being, especially as related to yoga and the martial arts...
Battered Potatoes... obviously a Aussie thing! ^^
Lots of little kiddies got their first exposure to the Fair via the many organizations that mentor them.
"Shopping Is A Sport" If the tee fits... :P
More pix tomorrow...
Ain't she cute? Even with a few stains... :)
These are from last few days, digicam and D80... I explain as I go long...
From Phil's BBQ in San Diego - Chick-less Dinner: Chunks of white meat chicken seasoned and BBQ’d, with baked potato!! OMG! So good!!
Sun Tea! Just add tea bags and sun does the work! Can't "burn" it. So refreshing after visit to fridge for a few hours with ice cubes to tinkle in glass...
Now you can see my outdoors laptop rig! Cheap fold up "bar" stool serves wonderfully! $10 at Walmart. Just the right height and folds to nothing for storage.... See how bright it is that day? I have a shade that rolls down for late afternoon/evening. Plus, blocks snoopy passers-by! ;)
Thom Hogan is the bomb! Everything Nikon he has got! His incredibly complete guide to Nikon D80 is on PDF, plus, he includes a paper essentials guide, and things like excel macros to calculate depth of field, etc. He tells you and shows you what you want to know. Mikey likes it! ;)
