I rented a d2x this weekend. It handles quite well, all the extra frills don't diminish usability. A d3 is probably out of the question for the next camera purchase, but I'll be interested to see how the d700 compares. The most noticeable differences are the focus speed and frame rate, also the color management blows the d70 away.



This afternoon I had a jonesing for ditch digging, so I bought some materials for a drip system. I have a half inch line running along the fence on the upper terrace and several quarter inch drip lines branching off. The big [known] unknown is how close the drip lines have to be to irrigate a continuous area. I have a patch of Korean grass with a drip underneath serving as the guinea pig. Either way, the papyrus and birds will be better off.

Took a long walk, no pee. Back in the house one minute, pee on the bed. ... A sleepy puppy is a good puppy.

I'm not one of your kind [not a cannibal] so I wouldn't call it that [cannibalism].

It's a good thing I don't believe in karma or I wouldn't have a chance in hell at happiness.

I'll just piss in the car on the way home.

Went to work instead [of surfing]. Bad life choice, I know.
