That’s not his only heavy burden, Commissioner. Just think of the sheer weight of his enourmous TIN FOIL HAT he goes about wearing all over the town and over the radio and all over the internetz.

TH, the doctored news photo is now a news story so feel free to copy and publish. It exposes the Daily Astorian for altering an image in an attempt to editorialize.

Well they could have used my Boss Hogg Picture….at least that would be somewhat amusing!

BTW Patrick, if RL is recalled, who do you think would be a good person for the Commission to appoint till 2010?

Clearly obvious the current photo of Lee does not present him in his best light but, he has a handsome enough countenance, so no harm there.

Who to replace Lee? Not my district and I’m trying to sort out who would be the choice in my own district for Patrick’s seat, whether it be him or somebody else. You know Sam’s conduct has not been exactly stellar either.

Hell, that’s your bailywick anyway.

Who would you select?

Why would you not be a candidate for his replacement?

C’mon please throw your hat in the ring Patrick. The thing about tinfoil, if it gets stepped all over, you can smooth it back out and put it on. We need somebody that knows about public etiquette. what’s wrong with those Demo’s. Everybody knows when giving the finger in public it has to go up the nose and wiggled around. then there is no problems. Maybe Sam had a problem before, heard that pea in there got caught on his fingernail.

Tryan, which camera is good for you depends on how it’s going to be used, what your final use will be and your budget. Photographing action in low light will depend more on the lens than which body it’s attached to. If you go for a Canon, either the 300D you mentioned or maybe a 10D or 20D, you might get the extra grip which gives you an extra shutter button for shooting verticals and an extra battery for longer use. Feel free to send me an e-mail and I can advise you on how to part with your money. ;)

On the R. Lee photo-I’ve noticed a lot of the Daily A’s photos look a bit washed out and contrasty online. I suspect what they do is adjust them for print use so they don’t look like mud in the hard copy and then use the adjusted version online without considering how they will look there.

Interesting you should ask, because we recently got a digital SLR after much teeth-gnashing and comparison shopping.

I had shot with a Canon F-1 in highs school and loved it. I shot with a Minolta X-700 for a decade after that, and purchased lenses. On a whim, SH got me a Canon Eos Rebel, which I didn’t like particularly. So, we purchased a Maxxum because it fit our Minolta lenses, and added a few more.

By the time we were looking for a digital SLR, Minolta no longer existed. However, they had been purchased by Konica, which was then purcahsed by Sony. Ergo our Minolta manual SLR lenses fit on our new Sony digital SLR!

And I LOVE this camera. The best price was through Circuit City, and we bought only the body, since we didn’t need the lens, we already had one just like it. It takes amazing photos, and I’ve used it for both studio work and outdoors.

That being said, my father-in-law is a Nikon man. A friend of mine is a Canon girl. It all has to do with how the camera feels to you. I just prefer Minolta.

Oh, the body was around $700. We also bought an extra large card for it, and can take tons of photos on it. The batteries are rechargeable and killer!

Good luck!

You don’t live in Knappa, you are down in Waco, albeit you probably are still tipping cows for your evening entertainment. Take the damn medication, Luke. Quit fighting it. Your poor wife must be a saint or bat-shit crazy.

Your point is well made 007, I would likely never be able to deliberate on anything for the sake of having to recuse myself every meeting.

This thought came to mind when I ran for Port Commission.

Actually I like it just where I am and don’t want to lose this power as a citizen.
