Leg Work

I went to the University to hear a lecture/presentation on the work of Balthazar Korab. They have a small exhibition that will be on display at SARUP, open weekdays. He took most of his pictures in black and white. You always have to wonder if film photography will survive. If it does, it may be only black and white. Most notably because it is easier to develop and can be done at home. Then you have Internet commerce. everything can be centralized and sold out of a warehouse, serving a worldwide community with cheap prices (since the demand would be low). But there are a lot of old cameras out there.

Below is a picture I took in Israel. When they say that their x-ray equipment wont effect your film don't believe it. All my film came out hazy. I cleaned it up a bit digitally after scanning. The Sea of Galilee was the best part of the trip. I missed the trip to the Dead Sea.

I made a list of things I need for house repairs, pretending I had the money to buy the stuff. I can pretend I have the money to buy a trainer but it wont make one appear. Inbox Dollars is an easy way to make  few extra dollars. You can squeeze a small check out once a year for reading e-mails. Our utilities are running over $1/day cheaper this Winter with the repairs I've made and the thermostat set at 62.

My trips the gym are getting longer and longer. After about 40 minutes on the track my body gets into the zone and my mind starts going over mountain bike course, envisioning them in my head. It makes me long for the warmer weather.

I am going light on the leg extensions and compensating with various types of leg presses. The curls are no problem. Have to keep trying more of that yoga stuff, good stuff. Not sure when I'll get out to ride again. Feeling much better than last year. Been taking some vitamin D and some other good stuff.

A google search by title brings up one of my political posts on the first page. It was on the second page after I first posted then disappeared from the results. But now it's suddenly back. I attribute the results to good writing and facebook.
