Rain Again!

"The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain"...blah, blah. Today is more like "the rain, the rain...it's a bit of a pain. It's flooding the streets and clogging the drains". Oh well, at least I am amusing myself.
It is raining again today. As I have said before, I like the rain. I don't like heavy downpours though...and that is what we have today. On the positive side...it is better than snow!

Watching the news today...Hurricane Ike in Texas...train wreck in California...the on-going and seemingly never-ending, ridiculous war. I am getting to the point (again) where it's hard for me to watch the news. I mean, let's face it, there is ALWAYS something sad and/or tragic going on in the world. That's life...but I am one of those people that wishes she could help save the world and I get to a point where I can't watch it or listen to it so much. I don't hide my head in the sand and ignore the goings on of the world...I just get to a point where it's too much. This is usually when I have my own mega-stress and drama to deal with...like now. I won't get into it and bore anyone but I am truly looking forward to the day when stress gets back down to a normal level. Life is too short.

On another subject...I am hoping to get some favorite pics posted soon. I am a photographer and I "film purist". I do take some digital photos but most of my things are on film. I have a scanner and could scan them into my computer...but that may not quite do them justice....and it's pricey to put them all on CD. I must admit, I am looking to get a new camera for my collection...and yes, it is a digital. It's the first digital that has really sparked my interest and made me say, "Ooooh"...the Nikon D80. Soon. I need it to take pics of my food creations. I am developing my cookbook and isn't it just handy that I can do the photos myself? It's nice to have two passions that work well together.

Well, until next time....be good, be safe, live life with love, passion and caring.
