I bought a slide rule last week, I don’t know if I’ll ever use it (or bother learning how to use it), but damn if isn’t cool to have one.

So I’ve decided that since I don’t carry a decent camera around with me everywhere, I’m going to start trying to post photos taken with my camera phone. Some will be artistic, some will be purely documentary. Some will be post-processed, some will be right out of the phone.

To start things off: There is an entrance to a train tunnel 50 feet from our house (it’s down in a ravine, so the noise isn’t horrible). We always hear the trains, but have never seen one. So, imagine my giddyness when walking the dog this morning on the Huckleberry and a coal train comes rumbling on by.

In other news, we now have a dog.

Eventually I’d like to be able to post straight from my phone…I’ve been trying to get postie to work for me, but it’s not quite doing what I want.

This is addicting.
