Sweetie – Did you do this?

This week I was looking at photos at the Sweetie and SuperPizzaBoy captured with their cameras.

You see they both take pictures of stuff but they never download or print or anything.

But these photos taken at Carlsbad, California are not half bad.

So who is the photographer?

Skywatch – Moon and Jupiter?

I picked up son, SuperPizzaBoy, at his friend’s house earlier this week. I liked the arrangement of the moon in the sky and took a few shots with my Canon. I’m thinking that the bright star underneath the moon is actually the planet Jupiter.

Sorry for the shaky, blurry, handheld photograph.

Check out Skywatch Friday.

Sunset with a little Flare

My friend Sharon is married to Don. Sharon and Don are both chemical engineers (so you know they are extremely nice people, right, like all chemical engineers.) Sharon works in an office downtown, Don works at one of the oil refineries on the river. Chemical Engineers in love, something special about that. They are very romantic. I think they murmur to each other about subcooled reflux and isentropic expansion and the beauty and elegance of feed forward process controls.

Whenever I see the flare going at the refinery I call Sharon and tell her, “Call Don and tell him to get his butt out in the plant, something’s wrong!”

Last several times I’ve called she hasn’t picked up though. I wonder what’s up with that.
