Last weekend, O1 and I attended our council’s fall camporee. This was our first campout with our new Boy Scout troop.
It rained almost non-stop.
Cub Scouts and siblings were also invited; O2 and Rabid came on Saturday.
Although there are three local troops, we ended up in this troop through luck; the brother of a friend of O1’s was in this troop. I realized quite early on Saturday morning that we had joined the right troop when I noticed that the leaders were grinding coffee beans.
Everybody had a good time and the rain didn’t interfere too much.

A friend of mine is considering upgrading to a DSLR. My opinion is that a point and shoot is just fine, especially when it makes the difference between getting the shot or not. To illustrate my point, here are a number of my favorite photos. All of these were shot with Casio Exilm cameras; 6 or 10 megapixels. Not that I wouldn’t love to have a DSLR but I wouldn’t have it in my pocket when I wanted to take a picture.
At a housefire in Weathersfield, Vermont. This photo was shot after my camera was dropped in the mud and stepped on; try that with your DSLR. (EX-Z300, 10 MP)

The landlord at my place in SF has instituted a lease and come up with a list of new rules. Rule number one is the best one.
Just to be obnoxious, I affixed the list of rules to the back of the door. Click for the legible version.
