It is the best boating month of the year (maybe century?) and our Jetski is sitting in the mechanic’s yard awaiting a new motor. Of course, sense of balance is important with personal water craft as well — something apparently I don’t have. Our other boat isn’t much healthier. It seems to leave us stranded in the middle of the lake half the time we take it out.
And we’re pretty low-tech in the video arena as well. Curt loves digital games, but he left his Gameboy in Georgia this spring. Our TV doesn’t work either. We’re too busy to re-install the ugly antenna, and too cheap to pay for a dish.
But the most frustrating technical glitch happened a couple months ago, when an editor wanted my photo of Darla driving a skipjack for the cover of a magazine. She asked for the largest version of the photo, which I promptly sent. But her designer said my 3-megapixel Sony’s photos would only decently enlarge to a 4×6. UGH!
So I splurged on a Canon Digital Rebel XT. Its high-definition 8-megapixels eat my Sony for a midnight snack.
