Town Point Landing

Yesterday I drove to the public landing below the Court House (otherwise known on maps and signs as Town Point Landing)to go for a brief jog.

The heat wasn't oppressive, but the sun was just high enough to make a prolonged jog feel like prolonged agony. No sense in overexerting one's self unnecessarily, that's what I always say.

After some brutally hot days last week, this weekend's moderate temperatures were a welcome relief.

The pleasant weather and little bit of idle time gave me the courage inspired me to tinker with my camera, which as of last week abruptly informed me it quit without even the common courtesy of two weeks notice. It just up and quit. Just like that.

If I didn't love that camera so much, I'd call it insolent.

Before giving up and declaring my camera officially fired dead, I tried new batteries.

No fewer than three different sets, to be exact.

Yep.

While most people would have given up after the first failed attempt, most people do not have loose batteries rolling around in the bottom of their camera bag, some of which may have been tossed there after dying in the middle of something; others of which are perfectly new, never used. Commingling unabashedly with the dead ones.

(CBW is one of the most scatterbrained unorganized people you'll ever meet, unlike some people she knows who keep spreadsheets detailing the last time they received a hair cut, how much it cost, and how long said hair cut lasted before having to go for another one. CBW only wishes she were making this up. She will go to her grave mystified by such people. However, these same people would never dream of having dead batteries anywhere near fresh batteries, much less rolling around loose having parties together in the bottom of a camera bag. So there's that. )

Anyway.

For now the camera is working. We shall see.

In other news, only a few long short weeks stand between CBW and the annual Griswold family vacation, which is the one precious week a year that a very comfortable distance is created between her and aggravation major responsibilities.

Hopefully you have something fun and/or different to look forward to in the coming weeks that will create a break from your normal routine.
