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.
