Phyllis and I enjoyed Jamie and Jim’s Hawaiian Party, and you can view the pics and see us make complete fools of ourselves. OK, just John. The link is on the right.
Also, I have gathered my favorite Louisiana Sky photos and put them into an album. They seem to bring out the comments. When I look at them, I recall what I was doing and how I felt when I was compelled, for instance, to stop the car in the middle of the Highway in Cameron Parish, and take a photo.
From Fletcher (some guy):

I had to use Time Machine today, and I’m glad I did. To explain it is harder than just using it. I had deleted a photo from my computer, and needed it back. Time Machine allows me to go back in Time and get it from the last backup. The AMAZING thing is that it is aware of the application you are using. Here’s how it worked for me: I was using iPhoto, and saw the gaping hole where my photo used to be. I cried “Oh, No!” and clicked the Time Machine button. Instantly, Time Machine showed me all versions of iPhoto throughout time, showing the gaping hole. As I stepped back in time, the missing photo appeared, and I just clicked on it and clicked Restore. It brings it back into iPhoto for me.
In the meantime, enjoy these re-sized photos.
Don’t look at these photos, i made them too large.
I am experimenting with a new Photo Display Thingy. These are photos of the sky on the eve of Tropical Storm Edouard and the morning of Edouard .
Just testing my new Photo Display thingy.
This, of course, is the famous recent graduate Jaclyn and her sidekick, I mean, friend, Chef Jule
I just found out that the local newspaper The Daily Advertiser is putting the Red-Light-Runner of the day on the webpage. There are three there now, and be sure to look at Aug 7, 6, and 5. The first one is a normal “Run the yellow-turning-red” light, you see he is well-past the red stage, but something you see every day. The second is a night-runner who does not feel like stopping for a red light, so he slows, creeps, and then zooms on past a perfectly red light, with other people stopped at it. The THIRD is an awful scene that may make you gasp. It’s raining, and the red-light runner never slows on a red light, and the second he passes, two other cars zoom through across the intersection, missing him by about a second. That camera would have caught a terrible accident, because everyone was really traveling. Go to the webpage here. I have included a photo below to show you how to scroll down to see the Red Light runners on the right side.

Look, no matter who you’re voting for this November, this editorial in Bloomberg was Laugh-out-loud funny. I shamelessly cut-and-paste the article into this blog. Commentary by Margaret Carlson
In an ad that John McCain campaign put up last week, Senator Barack Obama is compared to <Paris> Hilton and, in case the viewer didn’t get the point, her evil twin, Britney Spears.
“He’s the biggest celebrity in the world,” an announcer intones, making Obama the third of the trio. “But is he ready to lead?”
In a world chock-full of cheesy celebrities, is it an accident that the two most intentionally vulgar, proudly promiscuous, and artificially blonde were featured in this one. We’ll have to ask the author. The ad ends with the voice of the Republican candidate for president. “I’m John McCain and I approved this ad.”
Obama had the maturity not to respond. Not so Hilton, who took time out from her busy schedule of shopping, shopping and shopping to notice there was an election in November.
With the help of glossy magazine publisher Jason Binn, she quickly filmed a response to McCain, whom she called a “wrinkly, white-haired guy.” In a cut-out swimsuit, lounging, pouting and posturing by a pool, she announced her plans to make America energy independent and to paint the White House pink.
Waiting on Britney
