When I heard the prediction of possible sleet and freezing rain in your area
I wondered if you were getting your share. It's 35 degrees here and that is
a damn heat wave. I would much prefer 0 to 20 degrees and snowing every day.
Guess we just have to take what we get.
Several years ago I bought a field kit that had been used by a retired
forensic investigator in New York. The kit had microscopes and optical
comparators. I scrubbed everything down with alcohol and always wondered
what all that equipment might have been exposed to.

It's getting colder here; never made it out of the 30s today. And there was
a strong wind, 15-20 mph, all damn day long. And then it started sleeting
an hour or so before dark. I spent most of the day out in these miserable
conditions doing forensic photography. The subject was gross and you don't
want to know about it, and you sure won't want to see any of the pix. But,
hey, it pays good, which allows me to buy more stuff I really don't need.
Besides, I'm used to it; stuff that would gag a maggot doesn't bother me
after all these years.
Now I've got a large scotch in one hand and a poker to stir the fire with in
the other. The weather guessers are predicting an ice storm here tonight.
Let 'er come! I'm in and done. If the power goes off, I've got firewood,
propane (and accessories), a generator, four cats, and a warm wife. There's
no rush on the film. The subject ain't going anywhere.
Oh, and FYI, nearly every shot was with a 50/2 macro.
Walt
