The very first thing I want to point you to is this video of the Ross Sisters from 1944. Now I was watching this and like the Andrew Sisters I thought it was a catchy little tune but saw nothing "amazing" . . . . . . until the 1 minute mark. Keep watching for the entire video.

Any photoshop CS experts out there?

I shot some normal NON-RAW photos but when I open the photos in photoshop CS I get the following screen ALL the time.

Besides my brain cramping up as I kept trying to save my screen capture using the wrong buttons, why does Camera RAW 4.6 - jpg keep popping up. It is a normal jpeg, NOT RAW.

This bothers me because I can not to a "batch" because this screen opens up first.

Is there a button I have to find so this screen does not auto-pop up?

I'm not sure how this will look on YOUR screen as the one I work on only has 2 colors and is very dark. This is my butterfly garden (being used by the bees actually which is OK).

I think I'm going to replace the tall Milk Weed which is more suited for the wild. I'mm become Johnny Mild Weed spreading Milk Weed everywhere. It seeds the garden with hundreds of Milk Weed seeds which are constantly needing to be plucked up.

Rules.

I've never been a big fan of rules. Rules are a lazy mans way of not having to make a decision. People make rules so they don't have to think. I'm not talking rules of a game but rules like, you can only have your grass a certain height or rules that come under the "we have always done it this way" type rules.

Not laws which are different but instead of rules we should have guidelines. With rules to many times people think a certain situation is black and white. The rules says this so we must abide by them even if this particular situation does not really fit or there are circumstances where the rule does not really apply but . . . . it's an easy way to not have to make a decision.

This is why I hate rules. The people that make or enforce rules are normally falling back on the easy way out.

My feeling is that every situation has it's own inherent circumstances and if you are the person in charge, well, deal with it. If you were put in a situation where you are the decisionator, make what you think is the common sense right thing to do.

OK - I had to get that off my chest.
=======================

I hope to see you guys tomorrow in Columbus. Look for me - I'll be wearing my sombrero and . . . . . .what? This isn't the yearly Columbus Dia de los Muertos Festival? The day of the dead? In some parts of Mexico this is the most important celebration of the year, when the dead return to celebrate with their living family members. I thought Columbus had a larger Mexican community! Perhaps I was wrong. What am I going to do with all of these Juanny C. Bus T-Shirts now.

----

So what is this one? Gangster Days? OK - So I'll be wearing my Johnny C. Bus hat instead (better on windy days anyway).

See ya tomorrow!
