Walk-About

So, I had the day off today so I had lunch with the wife at Wooloomooloo on Wyndham Street and then I went on a walk-about taking pictures. I just purchased my replacement DSLR (I sold my 20D to my brother) and I am loving the 40D. It shoots really nice pictures and controlling the different aspects of the exposure is a breeze. So, I walked around Lan Kwai Fong and Central and shot close to 400 pictures. I have put a few up on the flickr site and I will add more in the coming days.

The weather has been really rainy for the last few weeks and everything is damp. Take a second and do a search on the web for "Hong Kong Flooding" and see what you get for June 7, 2008. I think this has to be some of the worse flooding Hong Kong has had in awhile...it was bad...Black Rain.

Anyway, all is well in Hong Kong land...Randi was in Bangkok over the weekend with some of her girlfriends and Henry and I held down the fort. Randi will be posting some pictures of her adventures with the girls in Thailand...they had a good time and they have the pictures to prove it.

Keep the people of Kansas, Iowa, and California in your prayers as they are experiencing some poor weather (storms and wild fires). I am extremely saddened to hear of the murders of the two young girls in Oklahoma. It is sad when people resort to killing young innocent children...I think it speaks to us all that something must be done about this senseless violence. I am sure you have all heard that Memphis again posted top scores for being a violent city with more than 500,000 residents. Ah...good old Memphis...when are the citizens of the city going to learn that crime does not pay?

I hope you all have a great weekend...and remember to buckle-up and don't drink and drive.
