I did attend the Rally for Darfur this evening and got lots of photos and audio. I'll try to get some kind of report up tomorrow. In the mean time, here are some pics of a few of the critters that come to chow down around my bird feeders.
These pictures were taken with my new Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ2 5MP Digital Camera. Panasonic is something of an off-brand for digital cameras, but I was attracted to the 6x optical zoom and the reported quick response time from the time you press the shutter to the time it snaps the picture -- something lacking in a lot of digital cameras. So far the results have been very good and the price was right for the features -- well under $300.
Doves taken through a screen and fairly dirty window:
A groundhog, also taken through the window. This and the rest are taken looking down from what is effectively a second-story window:
This and the remainder were taken with the screen and window open at full 6x zoom:
Chipmunk, cheeks full:
Red Squirrel:

2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
