Some stuff in the mill and a couple 360 degree images.
The dam through the window was a little too complicated for the stitching program, (windows ice)

Where I drink Mill Stream, brewed in Iowa, beer: a panorama.
The the panorama consists of five images stitched together using Microsoft ice a freeware program from MS. Each photo has people in different positions with one women walking ten feet or more before I shot her in another image. Ice stitched the images and decided which image of her to eliminate a procedure that I could not have done years ago by hand.

Up and running and tripping over low buildings, faster than 2 steps backwards and crashing into firewalls. Not enough room for a good virus

walking for exercise, not me, Michelle
About two weeks ago Michelle decided to start walking and it is a good idea. She started out slow and picked up the pace quickly over the next few days until Sunday morning when Michelle stepped it out to 7.3 miles! She had been determined to go farther this morning but decided that the sore knee and foot blisters needed a break for a day. Once Michelle makes up her mind she has a tendency to go full tilt. Sunday morning she stepped off 8.5 miles!

facebook as a tool
facebook as a tool:
That is the way I finally looked at it, instead of having all your buddies comment on all that stuff you will here in the bar anyway... ditch them! What I want is a facebook page that reflects my interests and that is hot glass. I finally decided I would invite glass workers and jewelry designers. The criteria is straight forward; invite lampworkers, glass blowers, slumping artists, collectors and jewelry designers pretty much in that order. I check the page that lists possible 'friends' and go to there page to see what there interests are and if it looks like a strong interest in glass, then I invite them. Then if they have other interests, like photography, that is even better.
Bye,
Mike, Do not get me started on a description of what a friend is, E

A possible unnecessary death
Death
A close friend found his business partner dead when he failed to show up to pick up Ken for work. People die; in this case I believe there are problems. Dave and Ken where mudding drywall when Dave lost control of his right arm. Dave decided to go to a chiropractor; this is where I think the system went south... you would have thought a chiropractor would have caught on to the symptoms, but no, he just did his thing (boat payment I think) and sent Dave off to his eventual doom. Dave did end up in a hospital where they, for whatever reason did not stint him or clean out the artery in his neck?
I should say that Dave did not follow doctors directions about drinking, working and rest... BUT!

rooster murrine
This was an experiment to see if I could get a nice feathered look. I made a cane with several layers of clear and white and drew this onto the rooster.

The signature cane
Signature cane
I spent the first four days making letters/numbers for this years cane. The M was the hardest and always has been, The M has a tendency to look like McDonald's arches! I also screwed 4 of the Ms up!!! I like making the S, I just marry two C's together. I did have a short clip of the finished MSE 2010 signature cane but I think I deleted it from the camera. The final gather for the cane was problematic... I put together the MSE and then the 2010, the problem is that I do not have a garage to keep the MSE hot so I have to keep picking up the MSE and heating it!!!
Spell checking, I do it, I proof read, I think about sentence structure and I still get it all wrong. I think that is why people become writers, it is all about the challenge.
