Edit: Apparently there's also an ice cream truck that lives down the street. That plays Pop Goes the Weasel. For no apparent reason. It's not like our cul-de-sac is crawling with children, so unless they're handing out chicken feedsicles, retribution may be in order. (For those who don't know, ever since the kayak shop summer of '03 I've had an overwhelming and partially irrational hatred of ice cream trucks.) Fortunately the truck is quiet enough that I can drown it out with my music if the windows are closed.
Since getting back to the island two weeks ago, I've been living out of a suitcase in Port Royale (where I lived when I first got to the island last year) with a friend of mine. Fun as that is, I can finally unpack my car after two months of living the nomadic life. (This is my fifth and final stop in two months!)
Found at the Field of Dreams softball field as I spectated.
So I got this big, fancy new strobe (external flash) while I was back home to use with my underwater camera. Last week I went to test it out and... it was too sunny for there to be any point. Try as I might, all I could get were overexposed shots or slightly-sunnier-than-they-already-were shots. I'm coming up on a couple of days off, so I'll see if I can scare up some dive buddies and head for deeper water. If so, there will definitely be a marked improvement in the kinds of shots you'll be seeing here. Once I get the hang of using it, that is.

The concept of commuting is somewhat foreign to your parents…. How long does it take to drive your ~4.5 miles to work? I hope it’s not a “hellish” commute.
It's about 10-15 min depending on traffic and rain, about the same as it was at the other apartment. And this time any cruise shippers I may encounter are safely encapsulated in their tour buses!
