    In college had a sony digital camera as part of my study. It took a 3.5" floppy disc to store pics on. Cutting edge. Reason most of my pics I've posted from that time are film pics that I either scanned or took a pic of with my cell phone. By the time you take a pic with a questionabgle cheap...

    I don't see what Linus audience is supposed to be or targeted at. Tech professionals don't learn a whole lot watching his shit. His gear is probably not useful for 99% of the viewers or even affordable for a large percentage. How many people really get wound up knowing that a random Canadian...

    Chaparrosa ranch in 1996. Middle of 100 year drought, even the lake on the TX/LA border was down to a ditch. Chaparrosa was shipping their cattle off left and right before they died.. Pic taken with cheap disposable camera I had in the truck. It rained 3 drops on me that day which was very usual.

    Learned a valuable lesson 30 years ago from my first landlord. Told me the guy at the appraisal district will have a much higher impact on your taxes than the people who set the tax rate. He was dead on. Appraisal district in TX keeps on file photos of all improvements on your land/property...

    I used to give high quotes for some of the work I do. It's a giant hint I'm not interested, quit asking me for a price.

    Mexicans pushed out by white people moving in. Of course here it's blacks but we call that a win. Polilticians call it a win as well cause of the tax base. Of course no white moved into a black area. They get up and move out entirely. Another parish, county, state, whatever it takes.

    Small things we could cover. But azaleas take up a large part of the property. 5 different varieties/colors in large groups each probably 20' deep by 50' each and 12' tall. Hopefully this is it, 24F tonight and forecast of 80 by Tuesday. Pick one and stick to it for more than a day.

    Met a woman at a wedding I was in 20 years ago. I asked her what kind of work she did. "I'm a professional gold digger". Umm ok. Later she married John Schneider of Duke boys fame. Guess it worked out for her except for dying from cancer not long ago. Takes all kinds I guess.
