About this blog title

I cannot tell you how many times I have shown up at events with a couple of cameras around my neck, a gadget bag full of odds & ends and a lighting kit and have been asked that question. If it happened once every few years, that would be one thing. But it happens a LOT. It's like getting pulled over by the police and he's standing there with uniform, gun, flashing lights and asking him "Are you a cop?" I would love to come back with a witty reply, such as "No, I am Jesus. Don't you recognize my beard?" However, I cannot be that rude.

I Remove a Deer Tick From My Skin

Deer Tick photo I found in Google search. I have no idea
who or where to credit this photo. It is NOT my photo.

I wake up today and discover a deer tick is embedded in my skin, on my stomach  area. I applied some hand sanitizer on it and it began to move, slowly. I then pulled it out with some tweezers. It's very tiny. I snapped picture of it with a Sony A6600 camera and a Minolta 50mm f2.8 macro lens. I then went to urgent care in Watertown where I waited around for 2 and half hours. Was prescribed an antibiotic as the tick can spread lyme disease as well as a number of other ailments.  I must have picked the creature up in our yard as I was outdoors there for most the day. 

Otherwise the day was warm, mild, partly overcast. iPhone reports I have walked 3,090 steps today. 

Also replaced head light bulb in the Better Half's car today. Those things cost $20.00
