Sorry this edition is so short.  I had hoped to get more material and finish things up last night, but the laptop problem completely vexed me. It still isn't working this morning, and while the Geek Squad guy that worked with me over the phone was very thorough, we weren't able to find the problem.

I have this, plus my new camera hit the street shortly after the STL Obama rally because the factory-supplied camera strap let go, and now has to go back to the manufacturer for repairs, which may get expensive.

Plus one of the tailights on my pickup is broken.

I certainly hope trouble only comes in threes.
