So as you can see I got the image thing working after a bit of experimenting and a false start (sorry about the double entry). Anyway it looks like it works so expect to see some jazzier post soon.

Spent some time the other morning watching the symbolic "toppling" of the regime in Baghdad and couldn't help thinking about how monumental the task will be to bring order and "democracy" to this forlorn country. I'm not even sure these people know what democracy is what with half the population never knowing anything other than the Saddam regime in their lives. So needless to say they face the future with guarded optimism not knowing what to expect. I only hope Bush follows through with his promises and helps them instead of rushing of to "save" another beleagered Arab country.
We are now the owners of a HP Photosmart 850 digital camera which I am quite pleased with so far. The images are impressive and it has enough bells and whistles to hopefully satisfy my photographic needs. I am posting an image of Chester our cat here to illustrate the fine quality pictures and to test whether I can post pictures inline on this page. If it works out, there will probably be a lot more pictures here as momentous occasions occur.

It's time to do a bit of an update on the blog as it's been a few days since my last post. We just returned home from Saskatchewan yesterday after spending the weekend in Sedley visiting Dianne's folks. Had a chance to see brother Roy and family and another good friend. However the weather turned nasty on us on the way home and we seemingly missed a large amount of snow that had fallen during the morning. We are now back in the throes of winter with cold temps and that incescant snow! Today the tax refund cheques started to trickle in after only two weeks since being filed sending shivers of joy up my spine. Now to find a good deal on my camera. And here's an interesting snippet from the war front. Seems an LA Times photographer was fired for doctoring a photograph taken on the battle field in Iraq. I guess no one would have noticed that he spliced two pictures together to make a single more appealing shot except that people in the background appear more than once. Check it out at http://www.latimes.com/news/custom/showcase/la-ednote_blurb.blurb Pretty incompetant Photoshopping if you ask me.
