I knew the solution, but a gentle nudge works wonders sometimes.

Thanks a lot. I'll try to fit it into the existing "publishing scheme" in my home PC.

My house caught fire in April. Here’s an iPhone pic of my son surveying the damage.

Lost all my Pentax cameras, though I wasn’t shooting them much lately.

Oh no, that's terrible. Hopefully no one was hurt. Will you try re-acquiring some of your lost gear? Best of luck to you!

Thanks, no injuries.

Some of my other brand cameras made it so I’m just using them now.

It's a pity, not a very pleasant story.

Through the good offices of the Samaritan's Purse Administrator of Flight Operations at PTI Airport in Greensboro, my grandson and I were given the opportunity to tour their DC-8. Lars got to sit in the pilot's seat, and then we went back through the cargo hold and the section in the rear with spartan seating and facilities for the personnel who fly with the plane. Afterwards one of the mechanics took the picture of Lars and I on the ladder with my Lumix DMC-FS7.

A few days later the plane flew to Italy with a load of supplies and 30 volunteer medics. I'm sure Lars will never forget going aboard the big white plane, and I will forever be grateful to Samaritan's Purse for their hospitality to us and for the work they do all over the world.

Wow, a DC-8 - didn't think there were any of those left. Very cool.

The closest I've ever come to my dream shot of a pony filling the disc of the rising moon. Another fraction of a second and I might have got it. But then some goddam lardass landwhale with a fancy Canon hanging round his quivering neck flab walked right in front of me and filled half the frame with his wobbling Hawaiian shirt clad blubberiness. May the dark gods of cardiac arrest smite upon him soon.

Edit: With the Lumix TZ70, by the way. . .

I sympathize with you, this is how dreams are broken))
