Double Life



So I think I have now taken my love of Little House a bit far. I now believe I am Charles Ingalls. I have started to insist that the girls; now named Mary, Laura and Carrie, call me Pa. I traded the Mazda for a buckboard that I am picking up tonight... Does anyone know what a buckboard is? Oh well I am sure it is a good deal. The guy did say it had low miles and was good on gas. I also bought a pink shirt that I am going to wear every episode... scratch that, day. I am also trying to reconcile how writing this blog fits in with the Ingalls lifestyle. Well sorry this one is so short, I got to get to Sleepy Eye before dark to pick up Ma's new copper pot.

TV sure is evil! Good thing my life as Charles does not have one... Now if I could only stay as Charles I would have no problem with having a double personality!

- My intellect amazes me at times!

A Boy and His D200

View large on flickr

Is it bad to be in love with an inanimate object...? Well ever since last year when I purchased my first DSLR, a Nikon D50, I had hopes of owning the Nikon D200. It was a long road but since then I sold the Nikon D50, bought a D100, sold the D100, bought a D50, sold the D50, bought a D80, sold the D80 and then bought my D200. Every sale brought more than the purchase price so thus every step of this process got me closer to my goal. Now that I have this hot little number in my hands I take it everywhere with me. I was asked by a manager at the office if I took it into the bathroom with me... "Well no!" I answered but that was not entirely true. She has seen her fair share of b-rooms. Well all that to bring you a pic for the day. I have been liking the moodiness of some of my favorite flickr photogs so I thought I would give it a go. These gals were more than happy to allow me to take their pic.
