good news, my camera has been fixed. the best part is all the repairs were done free of charge, except for the one way shipping to them.
can't wait to use it some more.

The best way to get web hits is to have what the kiddies are looking
for. Since I couldn't find it myself, I decided to transliterate a copy.

You know the closer you get to something
The tougher it is to see it
And I'll never take it for granted

oitsuzukete kita yume
akiramezuni susume yo nante
kirei koto wo ieru hodo
nanimo dekichainai kedo

hitonigiri no yuuki wo mune ni
ashita wo ikinuku tame ni

And I'll never take it for granted
Let's go!

Time for some apple picking even though I'm allergic to them.
What better way to know your apples than to see the apple chart which they spelled wrong in the pdf.

It is finally back. Caught it today as it was going up the west side. She returns after being away for renovations and repairs. It is an old aircraft carrier from back in the days, now it is a museum on water. It was also featured in a scene from that treasure hunter movie with Nicolas Cage where he jumped off the side into the harbor.
You probably can't see it but there are tiny little people on board the ship's deck enjoying the fanfare along the riverside. Also George pointed out that it was moving at a uniform speed along with the small boats on the side, so that means it was being tugged.

Ignore the tint, that was from the window in our building.

Sometimes the good part of the song lasts only about 12 seconds and the rest build up around it. But without the bad parts to compliment the good one, it falls apart. Ok it really isn't that bad if you know what they are saying however, as sweet as the chorus, is it can't stand alone.
As a side note, I get the feeling that the person in the video isn't the actual person doing the singing. It just feels like lip syncing. He's just there to be the eye candy. Then that shrilly female sound towards the middle can break glass.

But in the end, they are inseparable, complimentary and harmonic. Just like any good relationship.
