    WOW!

    I saw my first solar eclipse in the early 70s through a telescope with a sun filter on it. Just amazing stuff.

    I have four bandits that roam around this part of Indian Territory. This is one of them.

    Two younger bandits are still learning the trade. Some people call them squirrels, other say tree rats. Whatever they are I'm about to put a reward on their heads.

    No , I didn’t do that but once upon a time I did a similar shot lighting a candle with a match, This came off
    some news magazine. Don’t remember which. I’m sure it is a time exposure.

    It can be very tricky. My candle shot came out good on about the fifth try.

    I suppose useless conversation is all I do. Feel free to delete any of mine. I'm rattling off all the time, something like a gattling gun.

    You may have misunderstood what I meant, which was that there is no such thing as useless conversation. If you are entertaining yourself and whoever you're talking with, that's useful. Every conversation doesn't have to be educational or instructive.
