A real hug 

Sleep time 

Thomas, pensive 

Our late-night visitor. No name for him yet, but the cats were sitting by two feet in back of him, just chilling. They don't think a thing of him. He's a big one. I've got a new assignment...nightly raccoon tracking.

My new toy

Just picked up a Nikon D50, after years of debating whether to retire the old Nikon F100 and N90S bodies. I was finally pushed over the edge when I found out my Nikkor lenses would, in fact, work on the new digital SLR. Can't believe I waited so long.

Three years ago, only the sheep and mountain lions lived out here. Now, it's just the suburbs. (From North Valleys, Reno).
